  1. This wouldn't be a problem, if they used plant materials, not rock oil, to make plastics.

  2. Really?? That's bad. But that's America...

  3. @MadeleineTakam  Sounds lovely! 😄 But why would the councils bother (and pay) to hire recycling workers, if "it all ends up in landfill"?? 😏

  4.  @MadeleineTakam_Info_on_Profile  Why don't we have better incinerators then?

  5.  @MadeleineTakam_Info_on_Profile  Really?? Should be all right in the country.. 🙂 (It's coal smoke that stinks.)

  7. @MadeleineTakam  Wow! (Aren't there council-run recycling stations though? There are in Cornwall.)

  8.  @MrSiameseCat  Right wing conspiracy theory...

  9. @kwazhims3lf  I do think it is a bit of a right wing conspiracy theory, yes. I know that there are companies which use recycled materials.

  10. @MadeleineTakam  Trouble with "landfill" is that you run out of land! They aren't making any more of the latter you know... 🙂

  13. @rzella8022  Ah - so they HAVE found a use for full landfills! 🙂👍 (I thought they gave off methane and toxic waste.)

  14.  @MadeleineTakam_Info_on_Profile  Yes: I was thinking methane.. Still: it is nice to know that they can be wildlife sanctuaries. (Reminds me of Chernobyl! 😄)

  15.  @MadeleineTakam_Info_on_Profile  Sounds familiar! 😏

  16.  @TheGandorX  The Netherlands what?

  17. @AlexSmith-gr4hp  You can "separate" plastic bottles too! OBVIOUSLY. The only things you can't, are mixed materials. Like cardboard and plastic. Cardboard and foil. (Certain drinks containers.) Stuff like that. Honestly, I do think most of this is just a right-wing conspiracy theory. 🥱

  18.  @TheGandorX  I see!

  19. @leslielearnorth  No, Russia isn't "behind it". I take it you are American? Different countries have different policies on recycling. I'm not surprised America, being the biggest polluter in the world, doesn't care.

  20. I'm in the UK, and I think we reuse recycled materials. (There are even companies who advertise this on their bottles etc.) Your American companies are just lazy, I think. Plus: this is a problem of capitalism..*If the government wanted to force (and subsidise) the use of recycled materials, it could* . 🙂♻️👍

  21.  @vmax4steve524  I see! Thank you for your information. 🙂

  22. And incinerating to produce electricity is better than nothing, no? 🙂 (As long as no dioxins or anything are released.)
