how do we recycle the plastics in our balls? asking for my balls
Soylent green will have an acceptable threshold for plastic content
i would actually feel better about the whole bullshit if i knew that when i die someone somewhere will draw sustenance from my plastic-ey balls
What bothers me is some of my friends heard about plastic recycling being fake and immediately assume all recycling is fake. So now they don’t even try to recycle normal cardboards, papers, and metals because “recycling is a myth”.
Honestly, they’re not wrong. It’s reduce, reuse, recycle in that order for a reason. Excess packaging, regardless of material, is a problem. In a lot of places, even though you might separate your recyclables, they end up in the landfill anyway because nobody buys bales of recyclables when new material is cheaper and higher quality.
The best way to address waste like this is to place an additional tax on new material, and subsidize recycling.
That’s what happens when people get lied to, they stop believing everything, not just the lies.
Lying to the public does insane damage.

Plastic recycling isn’t fake. It’s often not been economical, so it often doesn’t make any sense to do it. But you can recycle plastics.
It isnt fake, but a lot of the plastic in the blue box never gets recycled. And many plastics are mixed which makes them difficult to recycle. Many can also only be recycled once or twice and still be usefull.
The oil industry is the greatest enemy humanity has ever faced. They’ve all but won.
A Pyrrhic victory is still a victory.

Anything to not reduce consumption.
