Source on this "pipeline"?
Recycling bin > recycling lorry > container > third world country > sea.
A landfill in your own country? How fancy!
...do you not believe bottles are recycled? Or is this just a snarky way of pointing out how ineffective the system is?
If you think recycling is effective you have fallen to their propaganda
Oh no, something is ineffective, we better abandon the whole idea!
Yes, actually. We should abandon the whole idea. We should actually stop using plastics for everything. That's the correct take.
Something like 9% of plastic gets recycled.
No, I want an effective system starting with the producers of waste
Great, you not only read my mind but you are also spreading gloom about an extremely well known issue. Beautiful.
I don't think I could have lived in society for the past 15 years without hearing about this issue at least 5 times a year, and I'm not sure what made you think otherwise.
I want change, ignoring the problem doesn't makebthe issue go away
So if I ask what a person means with their snark, it means I want the problem to be ignored?
That's a sad and weird way to assume shit, honestly. Because if you actually knew my view, you would know that I think about plastics fucking the human race every day of my life
I was a bit too snarky
If you even thought to say that, I can't blame you for your original comment.
Yeah, it's really sad how bad plastic is currently destroying our environment. Humans have to be able to see further into the future than "will I live to see the consequences of my actions? Because if not, I can't worry about them"
I agree,
It pisses me off that you can slap a recycling logo on a plastic bottle and call it a day when the process is nearly impossible and hardy ever done.
