That documentary saddened and disgusted me. I realized that recycling is nothing more then moving my garbage to another country where some of it is recycled at the cost of their health and environment. I realized it is actually better to just toss my stuff in the trash and at least it stays in my country. But this still bothers me. In the past every jar you would buy at the store would fit the same lids as the canning jars and you could literally buy a jam, use it, then put your own jam in that jar. Why did they stop doing that? The packaging industry has promoted waste for years and people want change. I too recommend that documentary if you haven't seen it.

there maybe something very easy to recycle some kind of plastic maybe PET maybe PP or whateve that maybe could be easy to produce and cheap to produce in a small plant like bricks for say Dog HOuses for example or to pile at the borders of gardens or something like this oreven to rplace bricks at some parts of a barn wall or even fences whateve anything kind of that size maybe roof tiles yeah... The goal is to keep them at a sight at the same time not small parts and particles around and easy to take to some other recicling step if demand demands or whatever righ and to keep it contained at same places not fucking around like garbage yeah with small plants for rough simple cheap shape of tile or roof or whatever Jars for water right BIg and THick Jars of water to have rain water or so for gardens yeah thanks

Yeah, I always wondered why I couldn't just get my MacBook at the Apple store unboxed and then let them keep the packaging and re-use it for transport. It's not like their box has any utility to me after; I just put my laptop and its pieces in a bag and never look back at that box. The worst part is -- I keep a lot of boxes around for years thinking the little plastic doodads and little accessories might become useful for me someday. What actually happens is that they never get used and then get tossed after the product is no longer useful to me.
