Just casually destroying the globe for the last 40 years. Fuck corporations.
Knowing something is good, proving something is better.
And for their crimes against humanity ___
Nobody of importance was prosecuted.
Sue for reparations.
Tobacco and sugar did the same thing among others
I’ve been reading this article for 30 years.
Yup. Recycling is bullshit and if governments had any balls and weren’t bought and owned by the petrol and other corps, they’d put 100% of the owness on them.
Yet you still misspelled anus, even after the edit!
Recycling plastics specifically. Aluminum recycles amazingly well, and glass decently, so keep recycling those!
I am still confused in public places, especially that restaurants.
So for example one place has 3 bins:
- compost
- plastic
- landfill
So if one has:
- paper wrapper from a hamburger (with some of its sauce on it)
- paper tray for fries (oily)
- soda cup with a plastic lid and paper straw
What’s the best place to put them? Obviously landfill is easiest but the worst.
Can I put the wrapper, the tray and straw in compost? They are technically paper so I’m guessing it shouldn’t matter?
Is the plastic lid going to plastic, does it matter that it might be wet? Where does the cup go? Not sure of it is made of waxed paper or some hinge of plastic? Does it make sense to also put it in compost? I don’t think it makes sense for plastic, and landfill seems kind of bad.
Paper go in compost
Paper cups are lined with plastic, probably one for landfill
Haven’t seen a genuine waxed cup in decades
Thanks will follow that advice.
I wish that since they have standardized menu they could actually list examples and help educate customer and improve the results.
I’m quite sure I’m not the only one.
Hemp was a widely used material around the world until the fossil industry started to build similar synthetic products from the waste of the fuel extraction. Hemp got a bad reputation because of the proximity to cannabis and the deal was sealed.
Paper is decent too…
I hate how poor recycling of plastics is now being used to not recycle other products that actually do recycle decently
I was explaining a similar frustration to a family member who said it’s because there’s so much plastic that it’s a PITA to sort it. Between this and microplastics, we need a return to glass, wire, and cardboard.
Plastic packing tape and similar has unfortunately contaminated recycled cardboard with microplastics
I like that paper tape Amazon uses. I don’t like their plastic envelopes.
As much as I hate Amazon and have reduced ordering from them significantly, at least in my area, they are leading everyone else in using paper packaging with no plastic.
Did you mean “onus”?
onus
anus

It’s just theatre to calm us down so they can continue killing us and the planet and all life on earth because they are enslaved by their massive egos.
So Penn was right. It was Bullshit.
I am shocked! shocked!
…well not that shocked
So when are we going to band together and violently solve this problem?
Shh, you’re just going to get banned if you say that all capitalists should be rounded up, shot and their bodies burned
