- Just for the record, "recycling" and "reuse" are very different concepts.
- They are often misused, and confused, in professional and popular
- literature, but we're better off in the long run if are clear on which
- we mean.
-
- A _rough_ analogy to this is the difference between "staying healthy"
- and "getting sick then getting treated for it and getting better".
- (ok, thats perhaps stretching the point, but it is illustrative).
