Why Recycling is Bull Shit

[hermosabeach]

The Swedish word for Recycling translates to Sorting

We have been brainwashed and taxed to recycle.

This is an interesting explanation as to why the US is burning or burying most plastics...

Almost all residential "recycling" goes to the dump. Even from the MRF it goes to the dump.

I bust the wife about that too. Not paying any less for stuff than people who don’t recycle. They can suck my balls.

Bring back "Milk home delivery WITH glass bottles" and then also expand on that premise. Paper bags, kraft paper industry.... sustainable forests (hemp?) etc.

It's only logical. Maybe start looking to change industry printing to be 'sustainably directed' as opposed to waxed printing. Just to name a few.....

Yet they run an entire separate fleet of trucks to collect the recycling and that is OK, while at the same time want to collect cow farts.

A realistic improvement to the trash problem lies somewhere in improving packaging and they way things are purchased.

Beat me to it.

Frozen meals can be sold like a butcher does meats in simple paper, and the consumer can pick them up and carry home in reusable cooler lined bags.

There are answers to the trash problem that may be less convenient, but not totally moronic.
