or that you do your best to do the right thing when you can.

Sure, but is it the right thing because it has a positive effect or because the intent is good? Should the distinction not matter?

no
you are supposed to pour it on weeds

seriously though I have recycled stuff for a long time.

Are you and Noah really the only people who got it??:confused:

What's with the footage recycling? How the neck does someone notice something like that, with all the changes that were made?

I recycle Coffee.

I'd like to know more about this. Which city?

I like to "restore" something that others have kicked to the curb, like a vintage BBQ grill from the '70's. It would have gone to the landfill or (better) to the metal scrappers, but now it's being used in our backyard.

I take old oil to the city for them to recycle, old batteries get recycled, but we still throw out too much stuff!

I don't know anything about making movies and I assumed it was done all the time. So there is something remarkable about this?

Nobody would want to think their efforts are futile. I can't know what happens to each item sent for recycling. I have greater confidence in the fate of items in the trash container.

Separating items into a recycling container is so easy yet people spend remarkable time and energy trying to be contrarians. Give the stuff a chance at being recycled. The odds of recycling helping are much greater than the odds of it hurting.
