I don't think that they ignore that.

I wouldn't say most. Fact is, despite those folks that ignore this,
recycling rates have significantly increased over the years. Most cities
have increased their recycling rates to 25% or more diversion of what
previously went into dumps. These rates are tracked pretty well. They do
need to be improved, but I don't think things are as bad as you think.
