thread recycling has nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with list etiquette. Please do some googling before you post.
I suggest that you look at and try to emulate the great strides that Patagonia is making in thread recycling before making such irresponsible statements in a public forum:

you have fallen into the trap that catches all n00bs to googling - assuming that whatever the first link turns up is the answer to the question you asked. This is a common mistake made by many people and there is no reason to be disheartened. If you work at it, you can refine your search queries to really dig out what is meant by thread recycling. And you will find that ilug Mumbai list rules do not prohibit message recycling! Strange.
Anyway, just to save you time, here is a short description of what is message recycling and why it is bad:

this link was turned up by intelligent googling - try to learn to do this.
