l'm sorry if you are confused Bulldog.
l ask a simple question.
When you are in business you can not be None Profit. All the charity shops may call themselves None-Profit but the excess money goes to there nominated cause. Be it Dogs-Cats- the Church-  Save the Children- Red X the list is endless for these good causes.
As Bruixot says: any excess is also put back into the operation or into the aims of the organisation(funding and expenses for the workshops on recycling for example).l can see what your saying. Fine but when those overheads have been met What then? Do they donate the excess ( which is profit ) to a worthy cause?
lt seams to me that some sections of society think that profit is an ugly word.
