Plastic packaging has its use so it won't completely go away, but there is plenty of effort to be made to eliminate single-use plastic.
I wish more stores would sell product in bulk that allow using your own reusable containers. Once you get used to it, it's not a lot of trouble to carry those with you while shopping, and it really makes a difference in the amount of stuff you put in the recycle bin and garbage can each week.
Recycling is also a scam. According to CBC marketplace its just green washing.
It's a framework with a broken endpoint. Yes.
But it's fixable.
Once we get past the big-ticket items of whether girls can kiss girls or whether those women can play baseball with those women, and then we decide which tumours can be excised and which are holy, then it seems we can settle things like fixing recycling.
So it seems, anyway. We're hung up on just the absolutely most absurd shit.
And there's a reason why Recycle is the last in importance in the three Rs in Reduce-Reuse-Recycle.
