You realize recycling is bs though? Used to sell more plastic so you won't feel bad, by oil companies themselves. Not much actual recycling is going on, most of it is dumped

People have forgotten that it is three R's: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.

The first two are important too.

And recycling is the last on the list for a reason. Only to be done when your efforts to reduce waste and reuse/repurpose said items are exhausted.

They don't market the 3 Rs. They market the recycling symbol and the number that says whether its recyclable or not. Qnd most of it ends up in the trash anyway. The better way is to not buy or use or produce any of it to begin with
