Recycling is BS

Pretty radical statement in the title, eh? Well... that's because it's true, for the most part.

State your evidence, you say? That's good, that's what you should demand. That's exactly what I thought when I first saw Penn & Teller's Bullshit episode on recycling. Just as they do on all of their Bullshit episodes, they gave good evidence of their argument and showed the stupidity of people who disagree with their point of view, in a very humorous way. They also conduct semi-scientific experiments to show the how the average citizen falls for some real bullshit:

Most of their episodes are on YouTube, so I highly suggest you watch a few and get educated.

Things that are Bullshit (Things that I currently agree with Penn & Teller about):

-Feng Shui

-Profanity

-Gun Control

-Recycling

-Creationism

-Alternative Medicine

-End of the World

-Bottled Water

-Talking to the Dead

Things that I disagree with Penn & Teller about:

-Secondhand Smoke*

*They recently retracted their claim that secondhand smoke was a bunch of bullshit upon the discovery of new evidence.

Basically, they're never wrong. Although I already knew many of these things were bullshit before watching their show, the way they present their arguments just makes me more of a believer (in the bullshit-ness) I highly recommend watching their show however you can get your hands on it, particularly the episodes on Feng Shui, Gun Control, and Profanity.
