Is it weird that we take throwing stuff away in the trash for granted? We know that whatever we throw in there (for free) will end up in a landfill or incinerated, and somehow that's okay? I find it hard to tell that to my kids with a straight face
- guelo 9y agofor free? In all USA cities I have lived there is a fee for residential trash pickup.
- fyfy18 9y agoIn most European countries it’s paid for by taxes, so you have no ideal what the real cost is.
- drdrey 9y agoYeah 'for free' is a bit of a stretch, I was thinking more about public trash cans than residential. Still, the idea is you can throw away pretty much whatever, no questions asked, and someone will put it away so you don't have to think about what happens to it
- jarcoal 9y agoIt’s embarrassing and we should all be ashamed of ourselves for allowing such incredible waste to become an acceptable part of our lives.
- otempomores 9y agoTurns out shame does not solve the problem. Thus prostitution and the church can happily coexist in the town. Shame is just another attention power buisness model. Research into cheaper recycling would be something. Lets assume i have a long upright concrete pipe i dump unsorted waste in.. How to decompose plastics and wash out valuables without too much money involved.
