    I try to recycle
    Everything now is plastic
    Is it toxic?
    Go through 24 water bottles a week
    Are they getting reused?
    Paper products have to be less used with internet
    Trying to my part

    Mixed recycling in my neighborhood, so you don’t have to separate. Makes it easy to throw water bottles in with the beer bottles and pizza boxes.

      Got a big container
      Throw all recycling into it
      Not sure about the final destination
      Hopefully they separate the plastic from paper
      Who knows

        Use the plastic bags from the grocery store as my garbage bags. Haven't bought a box of Hefty cinch sacks in over a decade.

          The key is not to use plastic, or as little as possible. Final destination is suspect.

            The final destination is probably a huge mound in a big hole in a third world country somewhere. Most of the shit never actually gets recycled and reused, just moved around.

              I think China was buying tons of it for pennies, and then they said enough is enough

                  I recycle, I'm not a fanatic about it, but I try to do my part.
                  There are dozens of contributors that hurt the planet more than plastics, but plastics doesn't really help matters.
                  I mean I put out the plastics in the bin every Thursday morning for pick up and stuff like that.

                    I’m in Vietnam and in this paper of the world , everything is plastic. You buy a pack of gum they give you a plastic bag. Plastic bags are free and are used for everything.
