Recycling
The state of recycling today is complex and appears to have never lived up to what it was advertised to be. If you’re curious, one our members (Lee Alley) has created a report Our Plastic Dependency is Bankrolling Big Oil and Worsening Global Warming showing how we will never recycle our way out to our plastic trash crisis.
When possible, buy less and repair things before recycling or disposing.
