An estimated 7.5 million pounds of trash is generated every day by the aviation industry. While the Natural Resources Defense Council, says that 75 percent of that trash is recyclable, it has found that only 20 percent reaches a recycling center.  

It is good that this is being noticed, and now hopefully they will change their ways and begin to recyle more. You would think that there would be article about the aviation industry destroying our environment through airplane exhaust, not because of their trash disposing methods.
