YOU ARE SO RIGHT! No one thinks about those things- when you buy a 6-pack of beer bottles, how much of that weight is actually beverage? How much gasoline was burned to get a bunch of glass from the brewery, to the wholesaler, to the store, to your home, and then the process of recycling even takes a lot of energy, as does creating the bottle in the first place. Another thing people don't think about- water takes energy. From processing to heating it for your shower to dealing with waste greywater, it doesn't just fall out of the sky and into your faucet.  Remember during the first rolling blackouts, the water pumping plants drained the most energy in the state. I'm glad you're reminding people that everything they use doesn't just appear on the shelf, nor does it disappear into thin air and even recycling has a price.
