3. I'm less interested in recycling things than boycotting everything.

My own major vice is beer bottles and cans, but they all get recycled.

Free plastic shopping bags are banned in my community, and ordinary plastic or glass beverage containers have a bounty on them. They don't end up in the landfill.

If I was a boss of our county I would have one of the cleanest incinerator power plants in the world until there was there was no trash left to incinerate.

Our county's power supply is largely fracked gas now, and that's worse.

For now in our county stuff left over after the recyclable stuff is removed get's buried. Maybe it's a net carbon sink. but I doubt it.
