In all seriousness...I could be wrong but didn't the recycling movement begin during WWII as a way to scrounge every last scrap of metal for the war effort? Aside from conservation, it sounds like a great way to have a stockpile of raw materials in case of emergency.
The current methods of processing recycled materials may be counterproductive, but I agree with Baraka that technological advancements will improve the process and make recycling a no-brainer.
