On the one hand, that mountain of plastic bottles sitting in the middle of who-knows-where in China isn't doing anyone any good, on the other, does recycling it into a bowl make it's general production that much better? While it does get to serve another function, and is essentially being recycled which is better than nothing, but it does nothing to change our consumerist nature. We're even creating more demand for a product that we shouldn't be producing in the first place. Will it be sustainable to change everyone's decorative buying habits towards recycled goods, or are we just giving more life to an industry that needs to go under?
