I was just at dinner at the home of a guy who refuses to recycle aluminum cans. He asked me if I was a "good recycler" so you know he sees the entire thing as moral signalling. He foregoes the refund and just puts them in the trash on principle. I tried to explain that aluminum is the type of recycling that makes the most sense, but he's up to his eyeballs in the culture and he won't do it.
