There is a patch of garbage on the pacific the size of a small continent but its still legal to sell single use plastic containers.
How many years do these people think we have?
Not long. That's why we recycle. Part of that is these stupid hinges.
I don't like them, but we need them.
Plastic recycling is a scam mate. Most of the plastic things you throw out are gonna get burned or end up somewhere for ever.
They even made the little symbols look like a recycling sign, so you can feel good about yourself at the store.
Dont believe me?
The evil companies. Ah yes a recycle icon with numbers but you presume it's fine. Nope. It's literally just the type of plastic.
:/. Corporates are evil.
Yes, but look how colorful and attractive they made our demise.
