Leading Environmental Journalist Says RI “Should Get Rid of Recycling”
“I think we should get rid of recycling - I think it we should focus of reuse. So many loads are rejected from contamination. We have not moved the needle,” Detz made the comments during EcoRI’s weekly appearance on GoLocal LIVE.
Detz suggests Rhode Islanders and the environment might be better served by a “pay as you throw” strategy which charges people for how much waste they actual throw out.
The discussion starts around the 7:30 mark of the Detz interview with GoLocal’s News Editor Kate Nagle.
