I believe in recycling. I believe that we have a mandate to preserve our natural resources and one way of doing that is through recycling. Much of our waste can be recycled. Such solid waste as metal cans, glass, and plastics as well as such liquids as cooking oil can be recycled. It is a well known fact that aluminum can be produced less expensively from recycled aluminum cans than from raw material. Plastic soda bottles can be reprocessed into polyester yarn. Indeed a well known manufactures, Patagonia, now uses polyester fleece from recycled water bottles in the manufacture of some garments. My youngest son uses reprocessed cooking oil from fast food restaurants for fuel for his RV. Currently recycling programs are considered too expensive, but I believe that Berkeley County can have a viable recycling program.
Can you put a price on doing the right thing?
