While recycling is a positive thing to do what we should spend our efforts on is reducing the post consumer trash in the first place. Buy your music online with iTunes so you don't have the packaging and shrink wrap to throw out, re-use a cloth bag when you shop instead of all the plastic bags, buy a hybrid car - they save you money and are kind to the earth, re-use a coffee cup instead of styrofoam or paper and make an effort to avoid products that are packaged in non re-usable containers. It is not hard to make a difference if you try.
