It is not Required but I believe that everyone should.

In order to require recycling by law, consumer products would need to be of regulated, consistent materials. We currently recycle much of the waste in our town but it's extremely difficult. One of the problems is that all plastic and metal containers are not labeled recyclable, another is what I describe as combo materials. So many packages are combinations of paper, plastic, and metallic and it's not always simple to tell if it can be recycled. Consumers can't be expected to know how to recycle materials if they can't tell what they are. Manufacturers will have to agree on consistency of materials and labeling the materials used. I don't see that happening any time soon; one of the key strategies of product manufacturers to get the best market share is to keep the public interested in the new and improved. Packaging is a major factor in sales.

Yes, aluminum cans, foil and pie trays should all be recycled. "Silver" foil from chewing gum wrappers can all be sorted.

How does recycling satisfy those affected by global warming?

Recycling will never satisfy those affected by global warming. Recycling does make a small difference to the amount of energy expended, but the big problem is the use of fossil fuels. We need to move to renewable energy, which emits no greenhouse gas at all. Only then will global warming slow.
