Sorry to jump in wildly here - but this reminds me of a similar attack on the idea where we shouldn't use "air cleaners" to reduce carbon emission already in our atmosphere.

I get it, it's not a the only solution to a problem, but again - why not use this technology if the job it is designed to do helps, even enough to mitigate some other issues. Just because a solution does not address all 10 parts of a problem, doesn't mean that you can't use that solution for 1/10 of the problem.

Because it's not 1/10th of the problem being addressed, it's more like 1/10,000th. What I'm suggesting needs to be appreciated visually. Only then is the meaning of the scale of the issue apparent. I'm against recycling because it's a form of denial. We need to be searching for new materials and industrial process. Also, we need to switch to next generation nuclear energy at the very first opportunity. IMO
