USAToday has a meandering piece on recycling for your perusal.
While it does encapsulate some “feel good moments” it’s as light on facts as any other “journalism” I’ve been reading lately.
Honestly, you’d think these articles were produced by a crack team of highschool students that aren’t allowed out beyond the walls of their schools.  It’s like […]
