2. Recycling Reconsidered: The Present Failure and Future Promise of Environmental Action in the United States
2013 by Samantha Macbride
The widespread adoption and popularity of recycling have often diverted attention away from the substantial environmental toll of manufacturing the products we consume and eventually discard. While recycling is lauded as an environmental triumph, with evident success in municipal practices, a thriving private recycling sector, and strong public support and participation, its core objectives of saving the planet, conserving resources, and fostering a green economy remain unfulfilled. Samantha MacBride underscores in this book that, despite the fact that more Americans recycle than vote, the majority of solid waste is still either incinerated or buried. MacBride contends that since the inception of the recycling movement in 1970, manufacturers of disposable products have effectively thwarted the implementation of more demanding yet significantly more effective sustainable waste policies. Present-day recycling often creates an illusion of progress while enabling industries to perpetuate the status quo and shift responsibility onto consumers and local governments. MacBride presents a series of recycling case studies that provoke essential questions about whether our current waste management approaches are genuinely the most effective means to attain real sustainability and environmental justice. Her aim is not to discredit or dissuade recycling but to prompt us to contemplate a future beyond the current recycling paradigm.
