Penn & Teller: Bull! 2x5

1. Agree.

2. Agree is a voodoo amulet something you carry with you?

3. Where to bring good luck and ward off bad vibes.

4. We have a saying around bullshit.

5. Everybody got a green. Green?

6. What we mean is everyone believes in some crazy thing.

7. They just can't quite give up yet.

8. Bullshit is dedicated to finding every little Gregory and crushing it.

9. The evil, wasteful superstition it is.

10. Tonight's a tough one.

11. We're going up against a Gregory the most everybody got.

12. I'm Penn. This is my partner, teller.

13. And tonight's show is about recycling.

14. Yeah, recycling.

15. I know we're going to have to prove it to you.

16. And we will. Sorry.

17. Recycling is a Gregory.

18. Just plain bullshit.

19. I I I find that. Get.

20. The paper and.

21. The boo boo boo boo boo boo boo

22. boo boo.

23. Come on back.

24. Hey! Oh.

25. When you do

26. a show called bullshit, it's tough to surprise anyone.

27. We show religious nuts.

28. Psychic nuts, drop nuts, animal nuts, dead talking nuts.

29. And you all know their nuts. Really?

30. Before we even start.

31. But tonight show no nuts,

32. So bullshit is believed by everyone.

33. Fuck.

34. We still kind of sorta believe it.

35. Yeah.

36. People all over the country and all walks of life love to recycle.

37. It just seems like the right thing to do.

38. I heard you guys are going.

39. To do it.

40. This woman is a wife and mother from suburban Los Angeles.

41. And she's just like you. She's.

42. She's really not a nut.

43. I recycle because I feel like I'm being a good person or contributing person

44. to the community, that it's something that I, you know, quote unquote, should do.

45. My name is Amanda Enclave, and I recycle by doing it, I'm doing my part.

46. I'm setting an example for my kids.

47. It's like a way of life.

48. She believes all this work

49. is for the best cause to protect her family and the future.

50. The more we fill up the environment with toxins, the less trees the waters

51. get polluted, air gets polluted, the ground gets polluted.

52. Soon the toxins run into the food system.

53. Toxins in the food. Shit.

54. We all eat food a lot.

55. I mean, we all need a lot of food.

56. I also will buy recycled toilet paper

57. because this is paper preferred by trees.

58. So I like that too.

59. When I'll be silly.

60. Most trees don't even have asses.

61. Some people look for more than 20 years.

62. The environmental movement along with this very sad acting

63. Native American actor, have been warning Americans about an impending doom.

64. Our environment is being destroyed by garbage.

65. People can stop it.

66. People feel good when they recycle.

67. Sociologists have done studies, and which is why recycling is so popular.

68. I am Neil Feldman.

69. I am president of the Institute for local Self-Reliance.

70. I would argue that recycling is perhaps the most, multi gender, multi race,

71. multi-class, movement in the country's history.

72. More people recycle in America than vote.

73. My name is David Wood,

74. and I'm the executive director of the Grassroots Recycling Network.

75. If recycling makes

76. somebody feel better, great, because then it's got personal benefits.

77. It's got economic benefits, and it's got environmental benefits.

78. We've got enough unhappy people in this world that have one simple act

79. that has long term positive benefits for themselves,

80. and their neighbors can also make them feel better.

81. Go for it. Don't cry, Indian guy.

82. When it comes to recycling, it's just another one of our paleface lies.

83. And what's the deal with using a Native American like he's woodsy the fucking owl.

84. If baseball teams are assholes for using Native Americans

85. on their caps, how come environmentalists get away with making.

86. Mister Iron Eyes, Cody their token mascot?

87. Now, if the Nasdaq drops below 2000 again, will our government

88. find a Jewish actor to cry while telling us to save money?

89. Let it out.

90. It's okay. Let it out.

91. Meet some of the faces of today's recycling movement.

92. Don't laugh.

93. We all believe this stuff.

94. Everybody's got this great greed.

95. I'm worried that we're just getting rid of all our natural resources.

96. There's been nothing left.

97. Recycling definitely will save money and saves us a lot of problems with having

98. to reproduce some things that we could just use again.

99. I definitely recycle, in fact, I'm like the recycle Queen.

100. Most of what makes people feel good about recycling is based on misinformation.

101. Daniel Benjamin is a professor at Clemson University

102. and the author of a landmark paper that put to rest eight

103. great Myths about Recycling that we all bought hook,

104. line and sinker from the environmental movement.

105. They've been told from the second or third grade

106. that recycling is wonderful for the environment, that it saves

107. resources, that it's going to save humankind from itself.

108. And so based on this misinformation, they think they're doing the right thing.

109. Well, here at bullshit, we're always interested in the right thing.

110. So we grabbed our hidden cameras and our own bullshit recycling truck

111. and traveled along with our bullshit recycling research bureaucrat, assistant,

112. and recycling workers to a typical Southern California neighborhood.

113. What are your views on recycling?

114. Strongly in favor of.

115. It, It takes less to use recyclable

116. materials than it is to make them from all materials.

117. Well, these people seem environmentally aware, but

118. how far would they go to save Mother Earth?

119. Let's bring down the beige one.

120. We added some new colored bins with the familiar black,

121. green and blue ones and invented some bullshit sorting rules.

122. You know, to stop the poor Indian guy from crying.

123. The beige one would specifically be used for colored paper only.

124. Would that be something you would be willing to do?

125. Yeah, that isn't so. That's not.

126. That's good. This is our white container.

127. This would be specifically for labeled metal cans. Oh.

128. Yeah.

129. Like a tuna.

130. Canned or a baked beans? Canned.

131. Is that going to bother you having to deal with five containers?

132. Not at all.

133. Good.

134. This is our purple container.

135. And this is specifically plastics that have come in contact with food

136. for me.

137. Good.

138. And this would be for, wet food items

139. such as banana peels, coffee grounds, spoiled vegetables.

140. You know, meat that's leftover chicken.

141. I don't think that would be too much of a hassle still.

142. Now this is. Yeah.

143. You would go this far, but how much further?

144. This is for lightly soiled toilet paper.

145. And, this was tested really successfully last year in Japan.

146. Yep. Slightly soiled toilet paper.

147. When closed, the deal always mentioned the Japanese works every time.

148. But it was in Japan. I'll tell you.

149. In Japan, I can understand.

150. So what would you think about this?

151. It makes sense. Okay. Makes sense.

152. And this is for biohazard.

153. As items such as used diapers, feminine waste products,

154. animal feces.

155. Or even carcasses.

156. You know, even a dead rat.

157. So, what do

158. you, What do you think about those?

159. How about that?

160. And this doesn't seem too bad.

161. Jesus Christ, really? These are good people.

162. Give these folks a medal.

163. Citizens of the fucking decade or something.

164. If you had a more informed group of consumers,

165. they wouldn't get such satisfaction out of doing this

166. recycling because they'd realize the fact that very often what they're doing is

167. they're making the budget situation for the local community worse off.

168. They're having an adverse effect on the environment.

169. Not always, but sometimes.

170. And and in general, they're wasting resources when they recycle.

171. We thought a list of good reasons to recycle might help clarify the issue.

172. So it feels good.

173. The big plus good reason that's that's enough reason to do anything.

174. But why does it feel good?

175. Because we're helping. And what are we helping?

176. Does it save energy?

177. No, because it increases energy use in transport, sorting,

178. storing and cleaning all of those things needed to get it back to a useful state.

179. It takes more energy to recycle a plastic bottle than to make a new one.

180. That's not so good.

181. So, so far we're feeling good for no reason, and that's fine too.

182. But if you want to feel good while being stupid and wasting your time,

183. maybe heroin is for you.

184. Recycle mania started in 1987 with this barge.

185. The mold grow for thought.

186. Some guy got an idea to make money.

187. Buy space in a Louisiana landfill

188. for some New York trash for less money than it cost to dump it locally.

189. On the way, he tried to dump it in North Carolina because it's closer.

190. But North Carolina didn't want it.

191. So the mall bro spent six weeks going up and down

192. the East Coast looking for a place to dump its Yankee muck.

193. And thanks to a rabid media, it became an icon for all

194. that was wrong with the environment.

195. People reacted to this with, and perhaps understandably so.

196. They thought, well, if there's not room for a single

197. load of trash from New York City, surely we must be running out of landfills.

198. People thought our garbage would barely us alive, and thus

199. the modern recycling movement was born.

200. Fueling the

201. recycling movement was the Environmental Protection Agency, which in a widely read

202. 1989 paper titled An Agenda for action,

203. said recycling was absolutely vital.

204. So they set up national recycling guidelines and this is the guy who did.

205. I set a national goal

206. while I was at EPA of recycling about 25% of the nation's trash.

207. I am J.

208. Winston Porter, former EPA assistant administrator.

209. It turned out it was a pretty good number because the nation in about five years,

210. then went from 10% recycling of all our trash to about 25%.

211. And now today we're almost 30%.

212. The recycling is an economic, environmental

213. and a very sociologically positive, activity.

214. It says it saves resources from having to be, extracted from the Earth.

215. It saves energy

216. inputs from having to manufacture new products for virgin materials.

217. The net economic benefit of recycling is as great as the net environmental

218. benefit of recycling.

219. Quote recycling

220. may be the most wasteful activity in modern America.

221. Waste of time and money a waste of human and natural resources.

222. I know what you're thinking that quotes from some evil right

223. wing empire capitalists fuck the year of publication. Yep,

224. a New York fuckin Times.

225. In almost all communities, it is more expensive

226. to recycle than it is to landfill.

227. There are often a lot of subsidies thrown on the recycling side,

228. and that hides the true cost of subsidies.

229. That's when the government takes tax money from you by force.

230. All tax money is taken by force and spends it on

231. something you wouldn't be willing to pay for in the free market.

232. Subsidies support questionable or obsolete businesses

233. and the name of the public interest.

234. Because the government doesn't trust us to do what's good for us on our own.

235. Recycling is supposed to save money and resources, right?

236. But if it really saved money and resources, you'd be paid for doing it.

237. That's the way money works.

238. But it costs you $8 billion a year.

239. That's your 8 billion.

240. And really, that's nothing.

241. We spend 300 billion paying farmers to grow crops that don't sell very well.

242. What's another 8 billion of your dollars on shit that doesn't work?

243. What does it actually cost your local municipality

244. to pick up the regular unsorted garbage of put in your bins

245. and just throw it away, like in the landfills?

246. Why? Irish might be something like 50 or $60 a ton, or.

247. 50 or $60 a tonne to throw regular garbage away.

248. And how much does it cost your local government

249. to have men come to your house and take the recyclable away?

250. I think Mike just said a rough number.

251. It's about $150 a ton.

252. To cost your local government three times more money to recycle your trash

253. than it cost them to just throw it away.

254. But don't believe us?

255. We wouldn't.

256. Here's someone who actually knows.

257. And the whole idea of recycling is is a net profit to the government.

258. Well, for 15 years, New York has had a net loss every year.

259. I'm Angela McKinney,

260. director of risk and environmental policy at the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

261. This year, it's close to $33 million.

262. That's a significant sum.

263. That's more money than I have on me.

264. Hey, isn't that enough to rebuild the Time Square Bourne theaters?

265. If recycling is such a failure, why is it that we have between

266. 9 and 10,000 community recycling programs around the country?

267. Why is it that it's a multibillion dollar industry?

268. Because people like you

269. who make their living off it continue to perpetuate bullshit.

270. And still people trust you.

271. They think you did your homework.

272. Let's hear some more from our cool, hot recycling mom.

273. And when I see someone not doing it,

274. I just kind of think less of them for not doing it.

275. And I feel sad that they're not connected to the part of this world

276. that needs to be recycled.

277. I think if you have the option to recycle and didn't, you're lazy.

278. The only lazy people we found were experts like David Wood,

279. who couldn't get off his ass to look for the fucking truth.

280. Americans are not lazy.

281. Take a look at how hard people work for what they believe is good,

282. even when assholes like us are torturing them with this.

283. We dump some garbage at their feet

284. and the test began. Go!

285. As fast as you can.

286. That looks like soiled a.

287. Well, a paper.

288. Or excellent paper.

289. Very good, very good. Down to the black.

290. The down to the black. All the way, all the way.

291. Quick to the red.

292. Quick to the red. Right now.

293. Run to the red.

294. I put it in.

295. The dead. Chicken goes there. Good.

296. Oh, wait. The dead chicken doesn't go there.

297. It goes

298. with wet food.

299. Actually. Oops. No no no no, that was color.

300. That was color.

301. I don't know what to do with this one.

302. Just tell us about what you're putting in there.

303. The sanitary napkins.

304. No, no, no, that's for colored paper.

305. That's for colored paper, not plastic.

306. Which.

307. Oh, that pizza should have gone in the wet food.

308. yeah. See?

309. Colored paper. Yes.

310. That perfect.

311. Okay,

312. our two guinea pigs got confused by our bullshit.

313. But did it discourage them?

314. Nope. Quite the opposite.

315. If this program were to be implemented, what do you think about it?

316. I'm for it.

317. I think it's an excellent program because I've always hated

318. throwing everything in one bin.

319. It's always bothered me that someone else has to go through and sort it out.

320. Let it be so easy for me to do it from at the beginning.

321. What evil have we brought upon the earth?

322. Our stupid little hidden camera gag worked too well and we've

323. been doing the real recycling bureaucrats.

324. Another data point on how much bullshit we'll put up with.

325. Back to the show.

326. We have some good news for you.

327. You can feel good about recycling aluminum cans in this one instance.

328. Recycling is actually a good thing to do.

329. It costs less to take old cans and make new ones

330. than it cost to dig up bauxite. Make new cans.

331. It works.

332. It works because there is real money in aluminum.

333. People are already going through your trash for it.

334. No one has to trick you into recycling cans.

335. But what about plastic?

336. A plastic water jug or soda bottle may be only worth on the market.

337. a fraction of a penny.

338. But there are a number of companies, and they're multiplying almost monthly

339. who are making a profit, taking recycled plastic and selling them to industry.

340. And what fine things what indispensable items does industry

341. make with this plastic?

342. But they start out by taking these these bottles and they grind it up.

343. Hi, I'm Craig Hampel and I'm the recycling coordinator for the city of Burbank.

344. But these pellets can be made into shoelaces.

345. Here's a shopping bag. Here's a t shirt.

346. It's nice. It's soft.

347. They can mix it with cotton to give it a nicer feel.

348. It would feel a lot nicer if you gave us back the $8 billion

349. the government ripped out of our paychecks.

350. Okay, so you can make some cool things recycled plastic.

351. But here's the unromantic truth.

352. You can make better quality, less expensive versions of that shit

353. if you just start from scratch when that's no longer true.

354. There will be money for street people in picking up plastic.

355. Now, what about the cornerstone of the environmental movement?

356. Saving trees.

357. Environmentalists are always screaming about trees.

358. Plus, every time you recycle more, you're

359. avoiding extracting trees from endangered and virgin forests.

360. They love that word endangered.

361. They say it as much as we say bullshit.

362. They also love to say virgin.

363. And who does?

364. Today, most paper is made

365. from trees grown specifically for the production of paper.

366. You follow that paper comes from trees.

367. So we grow trees to make paper.

368. Like we grow potatoes to make yummy French fries.

369. Same thing.

370. Our potatoes endangered because we use them.

371. Are there virgin potatoes anywhere?

372. Not if Mr. Potato Head has his way.

373. Most of the virgin pulp that goes in the paper is grown on tree farms.

374. And those tree farms wouldn't exist unless we use that virgin pulp to make paper.

375. See, even our side likes to say virgin.

376. There's been some research on this done in various places around the world.

377. And the evidence is, is that is that recycling

378. does not save trees.

379. Is there

380. anything about that you didn't understand?

381. Nope.

382. We hear you, and we have three times more trees today than we did in 1920.

383. Trees are renewable resource.

384. And get this recycling paper is bad for the environment.

385. Recycling is a manufacturing process.

386. It starts with this pile of paper.

387. A truck picks it up.

388. A second truck, not the one, was already a neighborhood picking up your garbage.

389. And it goes to a recycling center

390. which uses energy and makes real polluting smoke.

391. Anyway, more paper is put in another truck and take it to a paper mill,

392. sometimes hundreds of miles away, near a forest where it's dank and bleached,

393. and that leaves behind a scummy chemical sludge.

394. What the fuck do you do with that?

395. Then the paper pulp is turned back in newspaper

396. on equipment that belches more smoke into the air.

397. So if you really want to protect the environment,

398. the only way to really recycle the newspapers is by reading the same one

399. over and over again. Same bullshit.

400. Different day.

401. Of course, we just keep watching TV and don't buy things on paper.

402. They'll stop growing trees for paper and then there will be fewer trees.

403. You know, if we all stop eating yummy French fries won't be anymore.

404. Virgin potato is grown.

405. You want more trees? Waste more paper.

406. Really?

407. The environmentalists would also

408. have you believe that recycling creates decent jobs with decent wages.

409. That's what we call the pot of gold at the end of the garbage.

410. Rainbow.

411. That's where the 15 and $20 an hour jobs are with health insurance,

412. etc., that allow people to make a decent living through recycling.

413. You mean like you and Mr. Wood?

414. Well, whatever you make an hour.

415. It's too much.

416. Recycling requires several steps.

417. It's whether those steps provide additional economic benefit

418. to the local community, which I would argue recycling does.

419. You have to hire people to work on the line and pick the materials off.

420. You have to hire people to bale up the collected materials

421. and put them onto a container or onto a truck.

422. To argue that, argue that one of the benefits of recycling

423. is that it puts people on what are fundamentally

424. make work jobs, doesn't make any more sense.

425. Then, then then then then to put these people to work.

426. Trimming my yard with toenail clippers.

427. Except at least his yard being trimmed with toenail clippers would be funny.

428. We went to the recycling center in Burbank, California

429. to find out how great these charity jobs are paying for our

430. man. These are great fucking jobs.

431. If only we.

432. Weren't forced to be Las Vegas entertainers and TV hosts.

433. I don't quite understand why someone would complain that recycling creates jobs.

434. Why would someone complain?

435. Well, because not everyone feels great about a dirty, filthy make work job

436. that really isn't accomplishing anything.

437. Okay, so we know recycling cost too much.

438. It creates unnecessary and shitty jobs.

439. The things made from recycling don't recoup their costs.

440. We're not running out of trees.

441. And recycling is craziest of all.

442. Worse for the environment.

443. So I guess the only argument the recyclers have left

444. is that we're running out of space to put our trash.

445. And that brings us back to that skanky boat with the macho cool name

446. the Mole bro 4000.

447. When I was at EPA, then we finally got to the real event

448. in New York City, where it was eventually burned in an incinerator in Brooklyn.

449. You remember this guy, right?

450. He's former EPA administrator J.

451. Winston Porter.

452. Well, back back in again, the late 80s and early 90s, there was a lot of furor

453. in this country that we were sort of running out of landfill space.

454. What gave us the crazy idea?

455. We were running out of landfill space?

456. Well, first said fucking bolt the more, bro 4000.

457. And second, has to do with the EPA's agenda for action, written

458. by a faceless bureaucrat who made up that we were running out of landfill space.

459. His name J.

460. Winston Porter.

461. That guy.

462. That's the guy.

463. The guy who pretty much started the recycling movement.

464. Hold on, J.

465. Winston Porter is the name of our game.

466. The name for all this wasted money and effort.

467. J. Winston Porter.

468. Oh, that's not the name of a villain that's even accounting in Connecticut.

469. Fuck.

470. Just look at him smile and shaking hands with that moron.

471. He almost got a feel bad for Reagan.

472. The fundamental problem with that report

473. was the fact that it focused on the number of landfills,

474. without taking into account the fact that although there were fewer landfills,

475. they were so much bigger that actual landfill capacity,

476. United States was rising.

477. Well, some people,

478. have criticized me and others of saying

479. there was a crisis back in the late 80s as far as landfill space.

480. I don't think I said that.

481. I think I expressed concern.

482. Mr. Porter,

483. concern is when you raise an eyebrow and say, is this going to be a problem?

484. And start doing your homework to see if it is you put out

485. a fucking paper with a seal of the federal government on it,

486. or you said, we're running out of places to dispose our trash.

487. And one third of the nation's landfills will be full with the next few years.

488. And if we wait, the problem will get worse.

489. We thought there was a landfill problem because you, the goddamn lazy

490. loser government expert, said there was a problem

491. and you arranged to spend $8 billion

492. per year of our money solving it.

493. I know it's our fault.

494. We should never ask anyone in government to assess the situation.

495. Thank you for the annual $8 billion reminder. J.

496. Winston Porter, you could not have been more wrong

497. if your name were w wrongly wrong, Einstein.

498. So thank you very much for starting an entirely useless ecological movement. Yet

499. Americans make about

500. 220 million tons of trash each year.

501. And how much space do you actually need to get rid of it?

502. Well, as you can see from this map here, that little red dot is a landfill

503. that could fit a thousand years of trash, and it would be a big landfill.

504. But again, it would be a small portion of the United States.

505. Just a dot. And how big is that dot?

506. It's just 35 miles on each side and only 200ft high.

507. You could make it twice as big and throw in all the fucking eagle records.

508. Look, it would suck if you lived in that place, wherever it is north of.

509. I don't know, what's that? Texas down there is one of them.

510. But no one is suggesting we build an actual 35 mile wide landfill.

511. It's just for perspective.

512. And because Angela loves to draw on fancy maps as Mr.

513. would about a landfill. And you'll get a mouthful.

514. A mouthful of crappy okra.

515. Federal rules that exist for a landfill design permit enormous

516. holes in the ground with a big rubber diaper in it, a rubber diaper

517. that's about 1/16 of an inch thick that is presumed

518. to perpetually contain the waste load that's put in it.

519. They're very safe.

520. the risks of a modern day landfill, and according to data, analyzed

521. from the EPA, are, you know, 1 in 1,000,000,000,

522. which is a lot less than most things we accept in life.

523. The people who think that landfills are not a problem,

524. the people who think that we have infinite landfill capacity,

525. they should go live near a landfill or at least go visit one.

526. Okay, asshole.

527. We went to the largest landfill in America in Whittier, California.

528. Environmental controls are very important at the landfill site.

529. Joe Haworth, information officer, sanitation districts.

530. Of Los Angeles County.

531. It's a beautifully engineered site.

532. It's got to be an environmentally sound and a decent neighbor.

533. And it has to comply with some serious government regulations.

534. Today in the United States, when you build a landfill.

535. You have to find an appropriate site.

536. It has to be away from groundwater.

537. You have to worry about things like earthquakes and that sort of stuff.

538. You have to lay down a foundation of three feet of basically impermeable clay.

539. The liner system is actually several layers,

540. almost as much as like about 7 or 8ft thick of clay and gravel.

541. And drainage type systems.

542. The whole idea is to protect groundwater table.

543. Okay, fine, but aren't landfills filthy?

544. Believe it or not, all of this trash will be buried by the end of the day,

545. and it'll look much more like this well-groomed construction site.

546. This bastard's got an answer for everything.

547. But what about the smelly gas?

548. If you are putting organic material into a landfill, food scraps,

549. yard trimmings, wood, paper you're creating active decomposition.

550. That active decomposition produces methane.

551. Methane has to be vented off in order to keep the landfill from exploding.

552. Okay, there's no way out of this, right?

553. I mean, stinky methane gas explosions.

554. Methane gas is an energy gas, and we use it in this landfill site.

555. We collect it and carry it over to an energy station where we produce

556. about 60,000 homes worth of electricity for at least the next 30 years.

557. But in your face, you recycling psychos.

558. And here's the best news yet.

559. Once you build a landfill, after you fill it in, you put a layer of dirt

560. on top, you plant some stuff on it, and you turn into a park or a golf course.

561. It's nicer than my yard.

562. Okay.

563. We sure as fuck do not need more golf courses.

564. But there are no arguments for recycling left.

565. We killed them all.

566. And yet, even after all of this, the environmental fascists

567. want to summon the power of the federal government and force us all to recycle.

568. Mandatory recycling is very helpful, making it the law that you have to

569. recycle.

570. 99.9% of the people stop at red lights, and when they know

571. it's the law, most people recycle.

572. Yeah, when you have cops with guns, people do what you say.

573. Recycling doesn't work. It's too expensive.

574. And there's plenty of trees in the landfill space.

575. Why use the trash police to force people to do something that isn't necessary?

576. It's an issue of of control.

577. I think that that there are people who like to tell other people

578. how to run their lives.

579. And this is a great way to do it.

580. To say you need to do this instead of throwing your trash out.

581. You need to pray to the garbage gods and spend your time sorting through,

582. eggshells and coffee grounds instead of doing more productive

583. things with your life.

584. According to the New York

585. Department of Sanitation, 40% of what you separate recycle at home

586. ultimately just ends up at the same landfill.

587. The government is making busywork for you, eating up your time and money.

588. If only we could think of something, anything more productive.

589. Oh, well, maybe someday.

590. If I discovered all my efforts were really meaningless in recycling,

591. I would feel really betrayed by the

592. community.

593. Workers.

594. I. Know.
