Environmentalists?

I have been surprised at the number of comments I see in posts refering to the environment. Concern for what's going into landfills, etc.... I'm not looking for debate on the issue, but it's something that has very little influence on my decision making. I give all most no thought to environmental concerns in regards to my scrapping plans or goals. I don't recycle cardboard or plastics for example, because I don't get paid for those. I do have views about environmentalism, but they boarder closely on religious and political opinion, so I'm not sharing at this time.

My question is this...How much does environmental concerns impact you as a scraper? Are you out to save the planet, out to make a buck, or do you seek a balance between the two. I think in reading old posts, it may be about beer money or livestock(goats).
