For love of Bend, the recycling was lost?

Sitting down to dinner (popcorn) in front of the TV tonight (don’t judge me), I noticed Oregon House District 54 candidate Craig Wilhelm’s new campaign spot. Craig takes us on a walking tour of all the great Bend things he wants to protect. Ah, the mountains! Ah, the people! Ah, the coffee! And as he walks through one of our beautiful parks, Craig thoughtfully deposits his non-recyclable coffee cup and lid into a blue recycle only container.

Why, Craig, why?
