Green Guilt: Pseudo-Outrage from Chicken Littles

SEE HERE It's long since time to call what most of this stuff is by its real name: "Nonsense." The fabricated need to recycle for example. Recycling is at best an option. The free market tells you when that option should be exercised via that old fashioned signaling mechanism called "prices." If something could be recycled profitably then two things happen. The price goes up to the point were people buy less to save money and the price is high enough to motivate people to recycle. That is recycling that works. The other kind is feel-good recycling. Paper is mostly made from trees that are planted for the express purpose of making paper. Recycling of paper uses harsh chemicals which are then discharged into the environment and the paper isn't even less expensive then ordinary paper. That's an example of feel-good recycling. The dimension of propagandizing the young which is also pseudo-education, brainwashing in lieu of thought, is unconscionable. The greens are just another kind of hypocritical left mini-tyrants seeking power by "saving the Earth." Slogans used to separate people from their money to spend it on some do-gooder's crusade are all of this type.
