I desperately want recycling to work.
The more I read about recycling in the US, the more I just want to cry.
Whether it's NPR's report on how little plastic gets recycled and how the plastics industry developed recycling codes to make us feel better about using their products, a video on the un-recyclableness of black plastics, or the last twenty years dashing my hopes from turning "Anything Into Oil", I find myself hopeless and lost whenever I think of the magnitude of our plastics problem, and I fear that recycling - at least as it is right now - isn't the solution.
And then along comes the AMP sorting robot (an article about them), and they pull me right back in.
