We used to have incineration plants. Then the tree huggers made the air emission rules so tight that the cost of meeting the emission rules was so high that they where loosing money and shut down.
It is the same with cars. Europe's air pollution standards are not as strict as ours. That is why you see diesel cars in Europe. They instead tax the heck out of oil to make you use less.
That works as the distances driven in Europe are shorter. They also have more dense population centers then we do so mass transit kind of works. Still take massive amounts of public money to make it work.

I have seen numbers that suggest that recycling causes more total ecological damage than if we did not do it but it makes people "feel" good.

We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
