    Unless industry is using the raw material produced from recycling, we'll never get to 100% recycling. People throwing stuff in the blue bag or green bin, whatever it is in your region, that's only the first step. We are a long way off from 100%. We have countries who have refused to accept shipments of recycled products because there's no market for that material.

      We would all be plagued by a a giant beetle called the chewnifax that would drag children into the acid lake at night at random. The beetle would be so enormous and its armor so sturdy that any and all attempts to kill it fail, and it would remake the world, creating canyons and deep rivers and lakes as it made its way around the world, with the previously mentioned acid like increasing in size as it played with the bones of our children in its depth.

      We would live in giant mushrooms and communicate with tin cans on strings, and the world would no long be spherical but instead it would be a perfect cube.
