Recycling Rebuttal: Vol. 1; Introduction
For many, recycling in the Region has proven to be a cryptic process plagued by tales of recyclables in landfills and misconceptions about the final resting place for pizza boxes. A “why try?” attitude has left many to practically abandon the practice altogether, some going as far as assuming that their recycling tote is just an extra trash bin. The harsh realities of recycling indifference were brought to light after a series of articles were published in the NWI Times during the spring of this year. At the time of publication, Hobart and Portage had just withdrawn their curbside recycling programs and many argued that this was a major blow to local environmentalism, furthering the notion that recycling is a fruitless and unnecessary effort. For many, the articles fueled further doubt surrounding the fate of their milk jugs and cans. For local environmental advocates, the articles sparked frustration and fear of further recycling ambivalence amongst neighboring citizens. To reference the previously published articles, many have issued a call for response among local leaders and governments to not only educate citizens about proper recycling efforts, but to develop incentivized programs to encourage recycling. While these may be notable suggestions, the burdening reality of cascading landfills and overwhelming waste bring a much greater cost to our health and environment than any financial incentive may amount to. While systems may remain far from perfect, perhaps an unseen culprit in the recycling rebuttal may include a lack of awareness of the Regions’ recycling successes, and systems in place to make local recycling a more accessible, effective, and believable practice.

Jerry Reinsdorf keeps failing the White Sox: Forty years of ownership and almost nothing to show for it
Jerry Reinsdorf has been the controlling owner of the Chicago White Sox since he bought the club from Bill Veeck in January of 1981 for $20 million. That marathon-length term of more than 40 years makes Reinsdorf the longest-tenured owner in Major League Baseball. At age 88, he's also the oldest of his guild. As such, he's seen a thing or two regarding a thing or two when it comes to this, our baseball. Until now, though, he hasn't seen depths such as the ones the White Sox are presently enduring. By the time the season is over, it's possible no one will have glimpsed such a thing as the 2024 White Sox.
