Bullshit Blog

The show "Bullshit" focused on different ways to recycle and whether or not it is really neccessary. There were many different points Penn and Teller, the hosts of the show, brought up. topics like cutting down trees, no room for landfills, environmental issues due to recycling and if recycling is really worth it. Even though their views were very bias and somewhat rude, they did make some good points. For instance, the issues about cutting down "virgin" trees and making paper instead of using recyled paper. Penn and Teller talked about how when you recycle things it takes so much more time, money and resources to do that then simply cutting down trees and planting new ones. They also brought up the fact that some people believe that there is no more room for trash and the current landfills are going to run out of space. Responding to that fact, Penn and Teller showed a map of the united states and showed all of the space there was for landfills. In conclusion, i thought that the show "Bullshit" may have been a little over the top but it was entertaining to watch and the hosts brought up some very good points.
