		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really no wonder that America is still in the Dark-Ages of recycling&#8230; the majority of people just assume some items are recyclable rather than actually look up the information. Actually, I think that sums up a lot of what is wrong with people in general. They don&#8217;t take the time to educate themselves on [...]]]></description>
