RECYCLING A CRIME

CONCRETE HUGGER TIMES
June 23 2040 - BOSTON MASS

After so many years scientists have concluded that recycling does more harm to both people and the ecology than previously believed.  Over the past 20 years conclusive evidence has been gathered to show that recycling not only causes a major loss of energy but also results in the transmission of heavy metals and a myriad of biological problems for almost every species.

It was thought that by recycling products we are actually saving energy and preserving the ecology and that economically it provides jobs for people.

Mike Berstein said that according to the many studies conducted over the past decade that this is simply not true and recycle lobbyists have been lying about something they knew many years ago.  There are no less than 50 new diseases which are a direct result of recycled materials.  Breast cancer, colon cancer are just two.  It was found that recycled materials especially plastics carried a variety of bacteria that caused mutagenic behavior when combined with common resident bacteria ecoli.

The greatest concern has been the loss of energy as recycled material requires moving, cleaning, transforming, remanufacturing and reutilization.  The overall cost is much more than raw materials no matter how the numbers are reconfigured.  Only certain metals have shown an almost identical cost to raw materials.  Metals so it has been discovered have retention memory and have lead to many defects in products that require precision.  As of 2035 no speed quo manufacturer allows recycled materials to be used in embrionic nano bots as they almost always result in severe defects given certain conditions.

A new law has been passed by the North America League of businesses to outlaw recycling and put a penalty of 20 material credits against any organization caught continuing this outdated business.
