this episode is fucking stupid. dont believe everything you see on tv kids... yes it does cost us money and energy to recycle, but the money we use to recycle will eventually just replace the money it takes to create new products, if not replace it then at least minimalize the amount that we produce.
i really hate that guy that plays in this show. fuck him, convincing people not to recycle. fuck that cocksucker he takes it in the ass from baldy over there that doesnt even talk.
Yeah, there are lies, damned lies, and statistics. I remember an article I saw way back about a study this dude did that found that people created more pollution if they walk than drive, b/c of the extra amount of food they would have to eat for all the calories they would burn walking. A couple of things this particular study didn't take into account was the amount of energy that goes into extraction and transportation of oil, as well as energy used in building a car (it's something like the equivalent of driving 12,000 miles, to build one car). All the pollution the dude was measuring was from the tail pipe. Also, this study said that four people were riding in a car, but really, how often do you see that, so that they would all need food for walking, and it also calculated the pollution from their food by saying they got all their calories from beef - which is the most energy intensive food! So, basically, if you twist shit enough, you can get published, which is all these dudes want to do, or, if you are Penn and Teller, you can get your ass on TV and get paid, do you think they really give a fuck about the greater good and informing the public??
