Ugh. The image of a somewhat environmentally conscious westerner taking the time to sort their waste plastics into recyclable / not, only to have it be shipped all the way to Indonesia and then burned on an open fire to boil the tofu which they have been consuming in an effort to do their part to further reduce their negative impact on the planet.
