    We don’t recycle enough

    Maybe if recycling wasn’t a massive joke it might be useful and people might embrace it.

    The reality is no matter how much effort you put into recycling it’s going to a landfill or incinerator.

    “Recycling” outside of glass bottles is essentially non existent.

    The answer is to stop producing plastic.

      I was under the impression that only plastic Recycling was a sham and Recycling glass, cans and cardboard was good.

        Ya but it isn’t the cans, glass bottles, and cardboard that’s causing permanent environmental damage. It’s plastic that we are manufacturing daily all for it to wind up in a landfill and the side of the road which finds its way into rivers, lakes , oceans and pretty much everywhere else.

        The lack of recycling glass isn’t what’s killing us. It’s plastic.
