Reincannation

Simple explanation of Reincarnation, as believed by Hindus: a soul is reborn again and again, each live becoming a greater creature - from fly to bat to giraffe to monkey (with every other creature in between in according to the Hindu hierarchy of creation) until finally becoming a human. And in that human form, the goal is to live well - according to Hindu scriptures, respecting all beings and living piously - to achieve Nirvana. Oftentimes, usually, humans falter and must go through the entire cycle again (and this is why Hindus respect all creatures, because that ant that you would like to step on could have been your great-great-grandfather in a previous life) and again until, by reaching Nirvana, they are freed of the endless cycle and move on to what Christians would call Heaven.

Simple explanation of Recycling: processing used materials so they may be reused to make new materials. This can be done an infinite number of times.

So is Recycling just reincarnation for inanimate objects?

And then is a landfill Inanimate Nirvana?

Incidentally, a 2004 study by the Danish Environmental Council found that incineration might actually be the most cost-effective method of processing recyclable materials.

And Hindus cremate their dead.
