Why do people worry so much about wastes

(1) Lack understanding of how an economic system responds to an incerased shortage of some resource:

People tend to underestimate the likelihood that people and organizations will make characteristically human adjustments to daily life and society.

(2) Lack of technical knowledge or imagination

Many people who do not already know a technical answer to a given problem don't try to discover the possible solutions, and not do they imagine that others can dream up solutions. A "technical fix" is the entire story of civilization. The combination of technical imagination plus a free-enterprising system constitutes the crucial mechanism for dealing with waste. 

(3) The moral feeling about recycling
