Thank you, Bev and Robin, for posting some very interesting facts about recycling. What they say to me is that whether something should be recycled may be a complicated proposition, and hence that it is simplistic and dogmatic to favor any and all recycling, regardless of cost and consequences. 

There are people with an agenda who promote this kind of notion. They may be aware of the facts, but they don't volunteer them.

And yes, Brian, this discussion should probably be in the Environet forum (http://listserv.ipc.org/archives/environet.html) instead.
