You’ve been tricked into recycling
Recycling is bullshit. Sorting your bottles and cans…bullshit. You ‘ve been tricked into thinking that individual actions can help save the planet. It can’t. Corporations shifted the blame to you because they don’t want common sense regulations that would cost them a few % of bottom line profit. They played on our good nature and made it our job to save the planet from climate catastrophe.(read about the scam here.) They could stop using plastics, and stop making single-use containers if they were made to, and guess what? They would still be super profitable because they don’t have to pay living ages.
All the time you spend recycling should be spent calling LBR’s sleep-walking ass to get her to do something in Congress.
While I’m at it, here is a stupid thing you hear. “You can’t talk about climate change, hypocrite, because you took an airplane someplace instead of walking.”
Bullshit.

Hot off the press, so to speak.

Do you mean “you can’t talk about climate change”?
yep
FTR – I updated the post to remove “lazy” and replaced it with “sleep-walking”.
“Lazy” to describe LBR is lacking nuance and not accurate. I think she has a plan and is working at executing it. The problem is that the plan is all about LBR’s future and not the country’s.
Local business are already changing how they do business regarding recycling. It used to be you hardly saw a bill for recycling. Now a business with a 2,4,6,8 yd can will be seeing double digit increases or more. It has swung from companies getting a rebate for recycling to companies getting charged.
Recycling as we knew it (or were marketed to think we knew) is gone. Stop separating your trash. Cancel your recycling with your company. There’s no point
We recycle for the same reason we take off our shoes at the airport.
