We are
recycling not only to protect the environment, but for economic reasons as well.
Disposal is simply too costly and too dangerous. The challenge is to redirect
the flow of raw materials going to landfill into strengthening our declining local

Note the earth-covered bridges, the continuous window bands, the wind machines
across the farmlands. In this new America, everything is reused, recycled, conserved."
-- Malcolm Wells
"You
