Driving and cheap flights lay waste to recycling campaign - Times Online
Quote:
Hopes that Britain has turned into a nation of environmentalists were dealt a severe blow yesterday by an official report which found that the nation's carbon footprint was growing.
Although far more households were separating their rubbish for recycling, any benefits to the environment have been more than wiped out by a sharp rise in car journeys, a decline in cycling and a dramatic increase in commercial flights.
The findings come in the latest report on regional trends from the Office for National Statistics.

The fact recycling does NOTHING to help anyway probably doesn't help either.
