Dupes, Dolts, and Dummies

The real outcome of environmentalism:

Clothes-to-food retailer Marks & Spencer called on Britons on Wednesday to ferret out unwanted plastic coat hangers lurking in their closets and return them to its stores from September 20-22 for recycling.

M&S said the hanger amnesty was part of its "Plan A" environmental programme, under which it is aiming to be carbon neutral and to dump no waste in landfill sites by 2012.

If you're a big enough tool to believe this load of crap and help Marks & Spencer reduce their operating overhead at your own expense, I want to talk to you about a bridge I've got up for sale.

Recycling is a multi-billion dollar industry that preys on the gullible and easily taken-in dupes of society. At least most recycling companies have the decency to hide behind a layer or two of bureaucracy; Marks and Spencer just comes right out and says, "You're idiots; give us your hangers so we can sell 'em back to you."

Here is an interesting fact. You can only use 10% of recycled plastic when making products because any more and the integrity of the plastic is compromised. The elasticity is reduced to a point it isn't usable as a commercial product.
