		<description>When recycling is seen as the only way to protect and preserve our environment, we are ignoring many other factors that impact our surroundings...  Recycling is just one aspect of a very complex and inter-related issue... Recycling must be economically viable when compared to other methods of waste management and resource conservation...</description>

		<description>Recycling is the best thing and I love this post very much it was amazing performance. Nowadays all the things can be recycle like paper, plastic etc...Just now recently i read an article that mentioned there are companies springing up whose sole purpose is to monitor and report on any green initiatives touted by companies.</description>

		<description>Agriculture, which is the cause of much environmental degradation, can use organic recycling, or the reuse of manure and crop residues... Today most of the recycling industry has become more sophisticated in its ability to cost-effectively collect, clean and re-manufacture recycled goods....</description>

		<description>Nice post....but I find that many green initiatives to be more about marketing fluff than substance when it comes to the big corporates especially. I recently read a trend watching article that mentioned there are companies springing up whose sole purpose is to monitor and report on any green initiatives touted by companies that are bs and just for &quot;looks&quot;. recycling is the best way to reeback our product .</description>

		<description>I believe that a lot of stuff gets recycled out of necessity but one could ease the lives of many people if the process was streamlined. People should not have to wade through muck to get the few items of value....Most of it is biodegradable kitchen waste - but what makes it difficult to get rid off is that it is in a non-biodegradable plastic bag... However, most of it perhaps can be composted either at home or at a common composting site in the neighborhood - not just an empty plot...</description>

		<description>I try to buy paper products with as high a percentage of post consumer recycled fiber as possible. It wasn&#039;t until I asked my local stationer why they didn&#039;t carry this stuff that they finally started to.  It&#039;s good to know that one customer&#039;s opinion can make a difference!</description>

		<description>Sounds like the recycling in U.S.A is still not enough yet, Stefanie. Therefore, we must devote ourselves and learn to be more concern about the recycling activity. 

Remember that &quot;Today&#039;s recycling effort is for a better tomorrow!&quot;...</description>

		<description>Hi Stefanie,

My first post here. Very interesting (and eye opening) article. I didn&#039;t realise that post-consumer recycled products hadn&#039;t been embraced as much as they could be. I wrongly thought most people/companies would use them as a given. 

Mind you, I&#039;m not surprised that many companies haven&#039;t embraced them. I find many green initiatives to be more about marketing fluff than substance when it comes to the big corporates especially. I recently read a trend watching article that mentioned there are companies springing up whose sole purpose is to monitor and report on any green initiatives touted by companies that are bs and just for &quot;looks&quot;. Interesting stuff.

Thanks for the post.</description>

		<description>I think recycling is great! Because instead of wasting all the paper we could just use it again. That would save a lot of trees and our environment.</description>
