See... we've known for ages that recycling is a bit of a losing proposition: otherwise we'd get paid for our used TP rolls like we do with aluminium cans. The distribution of labour in this case makes the economics even worse. Th

Also the meat we eat eats food. That's how it grows. There's an obvious caloric inefficiency there, if we're struggling. Personally I think vat-grown meat is gonna be the ideal win/win: low environmental footprint, per
