Even though I can’t afford a decent electric car for the time being I do what I can for the environment. I’ve cut down on meat in our weekly shop and I’m really anal when it comes to recycling my rubbish. But little did I know that barely a third of what I put in my blue bin actually gets recycled. The rest gets shipped off to the Third World and stuck into landfill… Recycling schemes are such tosh. Our council wrote to us to admonish us all to ONLY put paper, card, tins, aerosols and plastic drinks bottles in the recycling. And in particular not to put any recyclable plastic food packaging in recycling..... ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely recycling plants can handle such things, otherwise what’s the point?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RadioactiveWaste Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 It's all about power. At the moment economies are dependent on fossil fuels, regimes that have those are going to exploit that leverage. The sports are just show pieces.
