Recycling politics

Drowning in the mountains of rubbish one can only wonder why politicians and society at large are rather treating symptoms than the cause. Ever wondered why we have so much rubbish? Please do, because any attempt to improve on rubbish management is not enough and only a bandage on the sore. Reducing production of rubbish on every level would be warranted! But no politician and not society either are prepared to tackle the root of the problems. Human intelligence? Give me a break! Greed and stupidity rule, coupled with intelligence is the surmise.
