I do too, and try to recycle everything I can but it really saddens me to see these huuuuge landfills, and countries in Latin America where millions of tons of it are shipped to and families survive by wading through it to sell the crap - it's so sad. We buy and buy and buy like there's tomorrow - I'm not a shopper, I hate it, but I'm on a mission to not purchase anything I don't absolutely need.
