    Just to provide a hopeful, positive spin on this… Think that there is %10 less waste out there because of this “recycling effort” Very tiny small silver lining.

      Ah, but we spent decades not discussing the plastic issue in the public discourse because of the recycling lie. We’ve been much more tolerant of plastics than we might otherwise have been, and so produced much more of it in that time.

      Rmemeber, the promise of plastic packaging was that it would “save trees” and be endlessly recyclable.
