You know at first I was like cringe, but then she grew on me rather quickly. Sometimes it’s the simple talks like this that have simple messages but also a fun way of getting them across.
A lot of things can’t be recycled but recycle anyway and also reuse what you can. Those are simple things I could live by, but it gets me thinking……can I think of a way to recycle what isn’t recyclable right now?!?!?!?! Who will be the person to figure this out first? How could items like pizza boxes or amazon packages with bubble wrap inside be more sustainable? Interesting haha

Kinda hard in an era of planned obsolescence where every year, companies want you to buy their “new” product. Eg iPhone. Moreover, people are encouraged to buy things that they want rather than what they need.

Aspirational recycling. Mythical recycling. Fraudulent recycling. Dutiful recycling. Moral imperative recycling. Subliminal recycling. Most Recycling efforts fail and waste time and money. The main problem is getting people to put the gd trash in the trash can.

I have to admit, I’m tired of thinking about this stuff. I can’t imagine how much more disengaged people who don’t understand or believe climate science are. The only way forward is to find streamlined solutions that make it easy for people to do the right thing without even realizing they are doing it.

US trash is not another country’s treasure, it’s trash! Why didn’t America recycle the trash itself? It definitely has technology to make it a profitable business……don’t export it!

Solution: Wood
Wooden cans, bottles, utensils, cups, plates, auto body panels, train cars, airplane wings/fuselages, etc.
Wood is one of (if not) the greatest resources on Earth that is largely untapped, nearly infinite if managed well, highly accessible, and ACTUALLY disposable
