Ahh, that tragedy of the commons meets environmental idiocy. Recylcing uses mroe energy than it takes to make new stuff, but no one reports it except Penn and Teller and a few libertarians. Now, politicians in Alexandria (home to many DC bureaucrats) want to make everyone give up more of their privacy and to pay for a system to track their trash.
