Recycled?  No problem!

I for one am the opposite of the people who read this and, as fans of Tufte's other works, felt let down.  There seem to be a lot of complaints about recycled material.  Yes, a lot of stuff in here is found in his other books.  Yes, his whole Cognitive Style of PowerPoint pamphlet is reproduced here (I think?).  No, I don't think that's a problem and in fact I think this is his best work ever.

I once owned Tufte's other three books, but sold them.  They had no use to me, I found them to be a bit too... fluffy.  But I picked up Beautiful Evidence and thought I had struck gold.  A lot of his great ideas are concentrated, and yeah there's some fluff but he saves it for the end, where it belongs.  I have actually put this book to serious, heavy use, which I cannot say for any of Tufte's other works.

Is this review helpful to all of you possible buyers?  Probably not.  If you loved his other works, you are likely to feel some disappointment at spending forty five bucks or so on stuff you already have.  But if you didn't like Tufte before (and I know there's plenty of you out there) you might find a reason to now.  It seems as if this is Tufte's way of streamlining his really good ideas for maximum usage.  With a little fluff tossed in, of course.

People were always putting trash into our recycle when they came to visit so I bought these... Problem solved! Simple to use and look great!

Loved being able to recycle this at the end of my move, not like bubble wrap which just creates a bunch of never-going-to-breakdown landfill garbage.  Was way more than enough to move a 1-bedroom apartment (have plenty left over).

This is the 3rd time for me to purchase this brand. No issue so far, quality,comparable to the original.  4 star only because they don't have a recycling program.

This is exactly what I needed to help with recycling.  Doesn't take up a lot of space and stores waste well.

I own a few pairs of Fiskars skissors. I like the fact they're recycled because plastic useage and consumption is a big problem in America for the environment. I feel that I am doing the right thing when I buy recycled goods. Plus they are darn good skissors and have lasted a long time.

I'm very pleased with these. Our town instituted a plastic-bag ban to reduce littering, and I was so tired of scrounging, cleaning and patching bags! These are inexpensive and practical - sturdy enough for several grocery trips, then when they get too holey, I recycle or use them for trash.

Great to have easy to assemble shelves that are made of recycled materials!  Looks good and feels good!

I use these bags to line my recycle bin in my kitchen.  They are sturdy, and make the recycling process so much easier - just lift and take it to the curbside bin!

Trying to be more eco-friendly, I picked up a set of these. They truly are just like using the classic red party cups. Slightly heavier because of the plastic used, but they wash well in the top-rack of the dishwasher. If you like the disposable version, you will like these

Ordered these for our environmental non-profit organization and they are awesome.  They are the perfect size to keep at your desk, allowing you to recycle without having to worry about the bulkiness of other bins.  They came sooner than expected, too, with a personalized note from the Executive Director.  Will be ordering from them again!

Works great!! Much cheaper than what I normally pay and it's recycled. Will definitely buy again.

I bought two and mounted them inside of a small dry sink cabinet.  We can now recycle glass on one side and metal/plastic on the other.  No mess, no smells, no extra garbage from using plastic bags to hold our recycle.  Great product.

We have had this trash can for a few months now and we love it. We have had no malfunctions.  It is just the right size, contains the mess and odors well, and holds a lot which comes in really handy when there is a lot of recycling.  Only caveat is that the bins are not removable which made me a little hesitant when I first made the purchase but it really is not a big deal.  After a few times you become used to loading the bags (I recommend drawstring).  As for the recycled items, I just dump the bag in the recycling bin and re-use the same bag so there is less waste.  Overall we are very happy with the purchase.

Great product that works as it should and as advertised.  Comes without extra cardboard packaging to recycle. Good price too.

These worked out perfectly for their intended purpose! They shipped quickly and were of the best quality. I really appreciate their being made in the United States and of 100% recycled plastic.
