Really?

You have a sure fire solution for getting the tree bark off your t-shirt
after you get done hugging it?

Recycling it usually means the **** is sent to some 3rd world country where
8 and 9 year old kids get to stand in mud fields in 100 degree heat smashing
the stuff into peices for 10 cents a day.

At least here in the states some landfills are being converted into methane
production green fields that'll end up as parks some day.

There is always two sides to a coin.
