      …do you not believe bottles are recycled? Or is this just a snarky way of pointing out how ineffective the system is?

            Yes, actually. We should abandon the whole idea. We should actually stop using plastics for everything. That’s the correct take.

            Something like 9% of plastic gets recycled.

          Great, you not only read my mind but you are also spreading gloom about an extremely well known issue. Beautiful.

          I don’t think I could have lived in society for the past 15 years without hearing about this issue at least 5 times a year, and I’m not sure what made you think otherwise.

              So if I ask what a person means with their snark, it means I want the problem to be ignored?

              That’s a sad and weird way to assume shit, honestly. Because if you actually knew my view, you would know that I think about plastics fucking the human race every day of my life

          If you even thought to say that, I can’t blame you for your original comment.

          Yeah, it’s really sad how bad plastic is currently destroying our environment. Humans have to be able to see further into the future than “will I live to see the consequences of my actions? Because if not, I can’t worry about them”

            I agree,

            It pisses me off that you can slap a recycling logo on a plastic bottle and call it a day when the process is nearly impossible and hardy ever done.
