Recycling in Oregon isn't happening anymore, no matter what they tell or how much they fine you for not doing it. China has stopped buying American "recyclables." When I contacted my state representatives about this, one didn't respond and the other said to "just continue to recycle." Meaningless when it's all going to be going into the landfill. People here on the west coast LOVE to feel superior about how much they recycle and how little waste they create, well guess what, it's a TOTAL LIE now! Don't believe me? Look it up. We (as country, never mind a state, and the world as a whole) is SO FUCKED. We are literally going to destroy the planet with our garbage (and pollution). So you can clean and sort your so-called recyclables and think you're doing something good, but you're not. It's all going into a landfill. And when Oregon is full of garbage, where will our garbage go next?

See here for a few examples of the information:

Rogue Disposal & Recycling’s facility in Medford, Oregon, is so full that it has 600 tons of recyclables, including mixed paper, cardboard and plastics, in the employee parking lot. Since October, the community was forced to bury 800 tons in the local landfill, or roughly the amount of paper from 13,000 trees. That’s been a shock for a state that is a leader in American environmental politics (this from the first link below)

Can you go over the part about dreams again? I think I might have missed something...
