Thank you for what you do (and do not). My guess is recycling doesn't make much of an additional difference. There's a reason it's third in reduce-reuse-recycle. I separate out recyclables mostly out of habit (and garbage service bin for recycling is much larger than than one for garbage) but I wonder whether recycling could be a net negative due to moral exhaustion/fatigue/substitution -- surely there is research on this, and I would love pointers to it.
