Anti-landfill propaganda? Does that go along with throwing things in a garbage can propaganda? Flushing the toilet propaganda? Do people not know the definition of propaganda?
What he means is the guilt trip laid on people who don't recycle.
When I was a kid there was no recycling. Everything (except returnable beverage or milk bottles) went in the trash.
Now, the expectation is that you will sort your garbage by type and haul most of it to a recycling center where you have to handle it again and put it into designated bins. This is a lot of extra time and work and so some people (I'm one of them) end up with bags and bins full of cans, bottles, and plastic sitting around at home until I can work in a time to get to the recycling center.
I go back and forth on recycling or just throwing everything in the trash because it's too much trouble, and as one individual it doesn't really matter what I do.
