How bad is not sorting your plastics for recycling? - By Brendan I. Koerner - Sl…: May 7, 9:03pm 4 reviews environment, plastic, recycle
http://www.slate.com/id/2190734/; From the page: "I've been tossing my used yogurt cups in the recycling bin for years. So imagine my horror when I recently got around to reading the fine print on my city's sanitation guidelines--yogurt cups, it turns out, are supposed to go in the regular trash. Has my inadvertent sorting error ruined many tons' worth of recyclable plastics?"

The Tea Bag Basks in Its Moment to Simmer - City Room - Metro - New York Times…: Feb 27, 2:27pm 1 review art, recycle, reuse
http://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/02/27/the-tea-bag-basks-in-its-moment-...; From the page: "everage-centered artsy recycling seems to be all the rage these days. We have bottle caps transformed into coffee cups reborn as coasters, beer bottles recycled as Okinawan glassware, purses, aluminum can tabs woven into handbags, and water bottles refashioned as pet jellyfish (note the Volvic and San Pelligrino versions). It seemed as if only the dowdy, lowly tea bag was left out out of the eco-chic party. No more. Now, it seems, tea bags are also claiming the spotlight. They are also being transformed into artwork by yet another group in yet another developing country -- in this case, in a project called Original T-Bag Designs in a South African town near Capetown. (We may seem cynical, but we wouldn't write about these projects if we didn't think they were meaningful.)"

Treasure from trash - Memphis Business Journal:: Dec 9, 2007 9:36pm 2 reviews environment, recycle, card-board
http://www.bizjournals.com/memphis/stories/2007/10/15/smallb1.html; This just makes business sense. From the page: "in lieu of paying $20 to $30 per ton to dump garbage at a landfill, a company can recycle its garbage and turn it into gold: one ton of recycled plastic is sold for $350-$400." About 40% of the garbage at landfills is cardboard, which can be recycled and sold off to paper mills."
