All the garbage that fits in print

Article Abstract:

An article on recycling of garbage in The New York Times states that recycling involves spending of a large amount of money and and has no positive impact on the environment. It has also criticized the landfill programs. In another report, contrarily, the paper suggests that recycling should be encouraged. Such irresponsible reporting on key issues by a well-read newspaper may have undesirable effects on the public.
