Now that China no longer takes the majority of our recycling and our millions of roads in desperate need of repair this could be a winner!!

Spiritual_Chaos said:Ofc the US don't know how to recycle their own trash.Yeah, it's bad. Canada is also lagging behind, although not quite as much. Still it's bad here too, and shameful. I personally think one of the main problems is pure laziness. People in North America HATE to feel inconvenienced, even a little bit. That's why so many people fucking drive 3 or 4 blocks to the corner store instead of walking and shit like that. It's pathetic. So when you ask the same people to wash their used containers and remove the label, that's apparently asking far too much. And we also have people who like to make up their own recycling rules. They act like they're angels and saints for actually bothering to put their shit into the recycling, but they refuse to clean or sort any of it properly, rendering most of their recyclables useless anyhow. And many others with better intentions simply don't know wtf they're doing, because the government is also completely failing at this. The education around how to properly recycle is BEYOND PATHETIC, so many are completely uninformed about what you can and can't recycle, how clean it needs to be, how it has to be sorted, etc (my guess is that at least 75% of people would actually fail a quiz on this, no joke. And 95% of those people would be shocked that they failed). Plus the government is refusing to force manufacturers to use only recyclable materials for packaging, which really pisses me off a lot. PLUS it's failing to push forward recycling depot projects so that facilities can handle certain materials that they can't handle now, and programs to reuse materials in more innovative ways. It's just not happening at a rate anywhere near what we need. And in many place, not at all.It's all insanely frustrating. And embarrassing that Europe is SO for ahead with all this. I have to assume that is because Europe is so densely populated compared to North America. They've felt the pressure of centuries already, so the cultures are way more open to all this there? Or maybe North Americans are just bigger greedy lazy fucks, I dunno.

we also have local initiatives like take 3 for the sea when visiting beaches to take 3 pieces of rubbish with you when you leave. Local beach cafes also have buckets to collect rubbish and receive a free coffee when you return your bucket.Post edited by rhanishane on0 -
2 pick ups a YEAR?? So what about when someone needs to chuck a big item between the two pick ups? Someone who lives in a small apartment can't hold on to such items for months like that. Of course they're going to find alternatives our of desperation. I dunno, I'm of two minds. I think it's terrible to dump anything, first. But I also do empathize with those who don't have options for this. I looked up how expensive it is to call a rubbish pick up and disposal company, and it's definitely too expensive for many to consider. I'm talking over $100 just to have a mattress removed. That's insane. I think the best solution would be for multi-tenant buildings to work with their cities on this. Say for a block of apartments, they decide upon on large item drop off spot, and then the city have an arrangement to come and do a weekly pick up.

And don't buy plastic shit yourselves. No bags, no bottles

we are a throw away society. things are deliberately not built to last anymore its a vicious cycle. Most of my belongings are second hand including clothing. Clothing companies are one of the biggest polluters and the fibres from fabric are also choking the environment.0
