so what happened to "reduce"?

i got a credit card offer today that was printed on "50% post-consumer" recycled paper. forgive me for not being excited.

remember when you were a kid, and they taught you about the three Rs? Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. that's how you save the environment. but it seems that everyone has forgotten about the first two in their rush to embrace the third. i think we're missing the point here.

take paper for example: paper recycling might do more harm than good.
