Which is better? Plastic or glass?

[rgrindle]

Seems like a no-brainer. But my area does not recycle glass. Several counties in my area have gotten together to do recycling (it's new around these parts) but they only do plastic 1 & 2, aluminum cans, newspaper/office paper, and corrugated cardboard. So, when I shop for food, do I get glass containers, which I can't recycle anywhere around here, or do I get plastic, which I CAN recycle?

I'm getting glass for now, so I can reuse them to replace my nasty, stained tupperware:, but then what?

I have same problem - but here they only recycle things that have a CA redemption ....... not all plastics do We need a law.
