Really? And what is the primary goal of recycling glass then?

Fair notice: if you say conservation I'm going to laugh at you.



I would have said reduction of garbage/landfill.


The whole landfill thing has always prayed on human's inability to get to bigger picture. They see a dump and somehow think it'll take over as time goes by.

Dig a hole, put rubbish in it, push dirt on top 50 years later and you get a nice park.

Don't think it's safe for humans on top, even better a guaranteed wildlife refuge.


My town dump still had readable newspapers in the lower levels by the time they thought they could put a park on top.


People take issue with putting sand in landfills?


Yep.
