Well now; this is pretty funny. Hilarious even. I've seen most of their four seasons of episodes, but this one from season two on recycling got by me.

Tipping the scale at 230+ (5'10) in May, 2007, at 33%+ body fat, I decided to do something about it. This blog is about that continuing journey. Having lost 60 net pounds -- on the way to 10% BF -- I'm ready to reveal my "secrets." I'm enthusiastic about helping others achieve real results. The mainstream advice is mostly wrong. One need only take a look around.

I love those guys!
I've heard of this show. I would love to see it, but I think it is on HBO.
Please don't accept the Bullsh*t Penn and Teller are spreading as fact. P & T are entertaininers and magicians (and a key skill of magicians is making things disappear, as they have with the facts in this case). They are not professionals in the recycling industry and have clearly not done their due diligence on this topic. If they had, they would have found that a great number of communities are running financially sustainable recycling programs – in fact, recycling makes great sense, not just financially, but from a perspective of just plain being smart with our finite natural resources. These great illusionists have created a falst illusion around recycling, and are doing a disservice to an essential industry, and to anyone that needs natural resources (i.e., all of us) in the process.
Bullshit.
They acknowledged that aluminum recycling is financially viable. Nothing else is, and if communities are running programs that are overall self-sufficient, it is only because the profits from aluminum offset the losses from others.
