And look, the environmental movement has done some great things.

The reality is landfills in America, they're pretty good things.

One of the biggest landfills we have in Southern California is in Hacienda Heights.

And the efficiency that they had working with that, they basically got two mountains and they filled up the area between it.

And when they were done with that, they had a beautiful looking park in areas.

It's like, you know, you can't build on it because it's fill and it sinks at different levels.

But

We've got a lot of land still in this world, and we're not running out of it, and the amount of trash that we throw away isn't bad.

We're not Haiti where we just dump it on the side of the road.

They are not terrible things for our environment.

We're not obnoxious consumers no matter what people say.

The biggest thing for me was the intellectual versus emotional issue that I've been recycling.

You feel good when you recycle something, don't you?

I mean, you walk up to those blue bins and you put something in and you're like, I didn't hurt anybody today.

I'm a good person.

And that was the hardest part was now having the intellectual knowledge that

this ain't doing any good and I should just throw it in the trash can.

And despite everything I said, I will still put some things in my recycling bin just because it makes me feel better.

So that is the trickiest.

To me, that was the trickiest thing that I learned or maybe that I didn't learn, even though I knew.
