French automaker Renault has announced that it will team up with waste-management company Sita to develop end-of-life recycling for automobiles. A European Union directive requires new vehicles to be 95 percent recyclable by 2015, as compared to 85 percent now.

Every once in a while I hear these statistics that make me say what a Wonderful World.

Isn't it amazing that cars are even 85% recyclable? I guess we should be thankful for all those moon children tieing themselves to trees in 1973.

I also read that 12% of the surface of the earth is controlled by environmental preserves. 12 percent! That's good...right? I mean, I know Grist will growl about how it should be 97 percent...but 12...pretty good...

It'd be even more amazin' if 85% or car parts were actually recycled...bein' recyclABLE is no good if it isn't recyclED.
