And while many products are optimized for cost, they don’t market them as “cheaply sourced ingredients.”
Plastics have a bad rap. They don’t cause big societal problems, relative to the societal attention (Eg plastic straws).
People want simple, binary stories about a fight against evil — but the world is complex and actually pretty good.
- Over2Chars 2y agoThe fraud that occurs with recycling is hardly a simpleton's morality tale for the masses. AFAICT it's not even discussed. People are "against recycling" becuase it's stupid or inconvenient, or others are "pro recycling" for "the earth". But recycling is a fraud, largely, as I mentioned - it's not supposed to supplant the reduction and re-use of materials, yet is has. This is because of plastics industry lobbying and marketing. No one talks about Reduction or Reuse. Now it's "recyclable". you throw it in a green bin and no one asks about it after that. Plastic bags were made a little thicker and euphemistically labelled "reusable". Study disposable single use trash marketed as reusable.
