Depends on where you live. In California, recycling is a way of life, and the past 5 years, the bay at least, has been very serious about composting as well...like I still stand in public places confused about what goes in the trash, recycling and compost :heh: (which is actually a problem as they all probably get messed up and therefore have to end up as trash), but yea, then I go to other cities to visit friends or chill out and am floored to see everything from glass, to plastic containers, to cans, to cardboard and paper all go in the trash...:wtf:


So much of this country is landlocked too, I don’t think we do a good enough job I’d showing just how much plastic is in our oceans alone, let alone sitting in landfills. I complain about the quality of some of the recycled or compostable single use serving items, but it’s necessary, as well as reusable grocery bags and biodegradable diapers

Recycling may be a "way of life" in California, but outside of the Bay (which has to invest a ton in its recycling facilities), you'd be surprised at how many spots aren't able to recycle anymore. Even the shyt you put in recycling bins is often ending up in incinerators or landfills instead.

Is This the End of Recycling?
