Much of the messaging was "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle", people weren't just told that recycling was magic.

I'm sure the 3 R's being frequently overlaid on the recycling logo didn't particularly help the cause of the first two.

People weren’t told that they were supposed to prioritize those three things in that order. First reduce consumption, and then reuse the things you do use, and then recycle the things you can no longer use.

Most people think recycling is as good as never having consumed in the first place.
