Question:

I know this sounds like HERESY but(recycling)?

Ok, here's my questionAnd please don't be snarky! I know it's super efficient to recycle aluminum - that's clearBut for other stuff (paper/plastic/glass) is it REALLLLLY worth it?

Answer:

As you note, it's really good to recycle aluminumGlass is also very goodIt takes a lot less energy to melt old glass than to melt sand, the basic raw materialPaper and plastic are a closer callButYou can do a lot of good by choosing recycled paper and plastic products, and creating a market for themThat's probably the most important thing to do for paper and plasticPaper towels and garbage bags are excellent examples.
Yes, that's what I bake mine on, no clean upJust toss the foil in the trashcan afterwards.
You can do that or just lay your frozen pizza directly on the oven rack for a crisp crust
It dependsIf it's a ready pre-cooked pizza dough, then yesBut if it's uncooked doughit would bake the pizza very sloppy, and wont turn out as good as it would be in a sheet pan
