Recycling mentioned on Hacker News always depresses me.

The way problems with it are treated as fundamentally unfixable always strikes me as against the site's ethos, yet people love pointing them out.

Recycling just gets dumped in landfill!

Ok, lets ban that.

But, actually, its more environmentally friendly to landfill it!

Are you sure? Science doesnt really agree. But anyway, can we make recycling more efficient?

No, stop trying to improve things. Recycling is bad. If it made sense the free market would already do it!
