Is recycling my plastic harming the environment?
Jul 21st
To recycle plastic food packaging, I wash it in heated drinking water. Given the environmental impact of creating drinking water, piping it to my house and then heating it in a gas boiler, would I be better putting it in landfill or burning it? Of course the water and heating would be needed for other things even if I didn’t recycle. I’m looking for research and figures rather than intuition. Thanks Thanks for all the opinion and telling me what *you* think but can anyone actually point to some figures or research?

Is mandatory can deposit recycling really just theft and not about the environment?
Jul 25th
If you were forced to place a deposit on a car you bought and at the end of your cars life relinquish control of said car getting nothing only so someone else can make money off of the scrap…isn’t this the same thing on a larger scale? Im not bothered by returning my cans, it’s the fact that others are making money at my expense…”Specimen” following your logic why aren’t deposits placed on items that really damage the enviroment, or atleast things they don’t profit on.
