"Other people don't so why should I."
This meme is terrible.
Recycling is just shipping it to Asia and they just lump ship it so even if you separate it doesn’t matter.
A lot of non-recyclable plastics get lumped in and it’s more of a landfill than recycling.
Not to say we shouldn’t recycle but that we shouldn’t use plastics.
Plastic recycling really sucks, but paper recycling is usually a net positive and compost is such a no brainer I'm always shocked it isn't everywhere.
