    Kinda scary when the lines between stupidity and bad trolling get blurred together.

    You should look up some research on the actual effectiveness of most recycling.

    Not saying it's bad to recycle, of course, but damn.

      I agree, many recycling programs are created by politicians to make people 'feel good' and to 'create jobs'. These do nothing but to divert some materials (ones with little value) to landfill or incineration.

    I hope this is satire and not blatant stupidity.

    We should kill people who want to kill people when other solutions exist.

    By the time this world is destroyed we'll have the technology and resources to move to a new planet, or maybe even populate several new planets.

      Should we continue on the path we're on, we will largely destroy this planet in only 40 years. We will lose most of our technology and use up most of our available resources. Therefore, we will not be able to inhabit new worlds.

        I would love to hear where you got that information. I'm not talking about fossil fuels either. We are already at the beginning stages of moving to electricity as primary source of energy.

          Fossil fuels generate most of our electricity.

            Look up renewable energy and solar energy.

              Renewable energy (including solar) currently supplies only about 16% of the world's energy needs.
              Petroleum supplies about 40% of the world's energy needs.
              The 'easy' oil will be depleted in about 40 years. Is it fair for us to have used up the bulk of the Earth's petroleum reserves, and deprive future generations, in only about 150 years?
              I agree with you that we need more renewable energy sources.
              There is only one way that we can avoid a catastrophe from occuring due to energy shortages in the near future. This is, to reduce our population. We must start right now. If we could halve the world's population, we could increase the share of renewable energy sources from 16% to 32%. Halve it again, the share increases to 64%.
              Starting right now, we need to convince EVERY female around the world, to limit her reproduction to 1 child. Also, delaying her first pregnancy until about 30 years of age reduces our population base through attrition.
              I agree with you that we must increase our utilization of renewable energy sources. Two underdeveloped energy sources are Photobioreactors and Geothermal Energy.
              Photobioreactors (closed-loop systems) use algae to produce biofuels. Nutrients can be used from sewage. These systems would be ideal in Urban Landscapes and Desert Regions.
              Geothermal Energy can be utilized almost
              anywhere, not just near tectonically active areas.
              We also need to design new, more efficient cities.
              We need to begin working on these things RIGHT NOW!

    Kind of extreme for not recycling.

    I think kill is a little too harsh for people that don't recycle. I feel that we should stop irresponsible behaviour. For this reason I favour education.
    Recycling should be employed for as close to 100% of the materials we consume as is practical. However, recycling should be the last option.
    Reduce. We should all make an effort not to purchase unnecessary or frivolous items.
    Re-use. Re-usable items are far less energy consuming than recycling them.
    Plastics are our MAJOR PROBLEM. We need to get rid of most of them. I recycle what I can, but I am still left with about one plastic shopping bag of mostly plastic per week. If I live to 75 years of age, that works out to 3,900 bags of waste in my lifetime. That doesn't include all the other plastics I use. Plastics in my car (vinyl very bad), clothing and textiles (polyester, nylon, rayon and others). floor coverings, countertops. Don't forget about 'hidden' plastics; insulation (polystyrene), plumbing (CPVC, PVC), coatings, other building materials. Take a look around and see how plastics have invaded our lives. THEY ARE NOT INNOCUOUS! Most plastics take 500 to 1,000 years to break down completely, but most are breaking down all the time. Biodegradable plastics, water-soluble plastics and polystyrene break down the fastest. When they break down, they still leave a polymer molecule behind. These molecules can and do invade into living cells, causing cellular malfunction. In this way, we are poisoning ALL animal and plant life on the planet, including ourselves. Should we continue using plastics, as we do now, ALL life on Earth will be extinguished in short order.
    The fist thing we need to do is stop careless behaviour.
    Next, is to itemize each and every plastic item we produce and ask is this necessary? If not, get rid of it (in a responsible way), don't buy it and don't participate in it's manufacture or distribution.
    Next, we need to get plastics out of our food chain. My friends tell me that we can make food containers that will last 1,000 years out of carbon-fiber. We can re-use them over and over. What we need is to develop electronic labels that communicate with embedded microchips in the lids. We need globally standardized containers that are cleaned and sanitized at an industrial scale (think of peanut butter and jelly). HUGE OPPORTUNITIES HERE! We need to change our mind-set. Although these would be more expensive in the short-term, they would more than pay for themselves in the long-term.
    Plastic plumbing. Right idea, but we need a new material.
    Polystyrene. We need a new material to replace its uses.
    We already have materials that can be used to replace many plastic items (carbon-fiber, corelle and kevlar [although this is technically a polmer, it is innocuous EXCEPT during its manufacture]). Use kevlar to make tote bags that can last 1,000 years.
    Thermo-plastics are of least concern, but should still be recycled.
    THERE ARE MANY HUGE OPPORTUNITIES HERE!!!

      Most of of the world thrives off greed so, it would be very hard to get them to change their ways. I think food should be turned into compost if not, then it should be illegal to throw thing like plastic or glass into the trash. That would make it mandatory that everyone recycles. I would like to see glass bottles in mass production again. Glass has humble and natural origins unlike plastic. In Jamaica, trash is everywhere. They stopped using glass and have been using plastic instead. There's no recycle system, because apparently they don't care. I hate the for the entire world to get like that. In third world countries, if they made recycle plants there would probably be more jobs created and lesser pollution. Europe has recycling and creating Eco-Energy. It has worked for them so, why can't it work for others?

        I agree with you that most of the world thrives off greed and that it would be hard to get them to change their ways. The only way this will change is if we (collectively) demand it. We must make people aware that plastics are a real threat to our continued existence, simply that we can not live on a plastic planet. They have tried to hide this information from us. They will try to tell you that it is innocuous, when it is not. Others will aver that when the oil runs out, so will the plastics; not true, we can turn cellulose (wood fiber) and natural gas into plastic. We need awareness in the public domain. Write to your elected officials and to corporate food and beverage producers. Remember that every email is regarded as 1,000 votes or consumers. Bring the issue up at school or work.

          The problem with glass is that it is expensive to manufacture, transport and recycle, and most glass is fragile. I agree that we should keep some food and beverages in glass, but what we really need are new reusable, long-lasting and recyclable containers. Although these would be expensive to produce, they would pay for themselves many times over, over their life-span. We will need to find an innovative solution to initially finance them. My suggestion is to use a library-like system to control their usage.

      HUGE OPPORTUNITY: We need a new synthetic fiber for clothing and textiles that is not a polymer.

    why not send a letter to all the companies around the world who pollute the planet and get away with it and its the general public who gets the blame for it and has to pay for it. so no, i dont think its normal to want to kill the people who dont recycle. if anything, the big companies should be shut down and then we can see the difference that makes on helping our planet. but global warming is crap anyway, thats why they changed it to climate change because its just doing its natural cycle and the government want to profit from it. they dont care about the planet, they just want money. its a sad time to be alive.

    Yes....yes....we'll round up what probably amounts to about 4 billion people or better who don't recycle their trash and murder them.

    Does it sound as crazy as it should when you read it written by somebody else?

    They shouldn't be killed. It should be Mandatory that EVERYONE recycles like in Britain. I think they should be punished:)
    Whipped or humiliation. Take your pick:)
