    When you look at it in terms of big numbers you cannot but reach that conclusion: that "it seems that reducing consumption is really the only thing that's effective". I mean, if you're looking to managing a city you can't escape that sort of economical thinking, because you have to deal with it.

    But when you think in a smaller scale (e.g the scale of the individual, a household or a company) you'll see that recycling, although more costly at present, generates good practices and savings, which not only ends ups in less consumption but also in re-using behaviours which eventually will mean less garbage for any city to deal with in the future.

    This to say that re-using is more important than recycling.

    • point taken. short term large scale it's not good, but long term it is.cuke426
