No Human Recycling

Recycling by humans is pseudo-recycling at best. For example, when humans recycle paper it goes into making more paper. When nature recycles paper, it introduces it into natural cycles that include goats, worms, insects, and microbes returning the end product minerals to the earth.

When modern humans recycle paper into more paper, they don’t return any minerals to the earth. In addition, the chemicals they use to convert used paper to usable paper pollute their rivers, streams and in general their environments with such chemicals as dioxins to name just one of many.
