Sorry, I don't have fancy pictures to offer, but I sure hope you will read to the end.
I have to say, there is a lot of information out there about the pros and cons of recycling. Plastics in particular in this instance. A posting just came up moments ago, baldly stating that 91 percent of plastics that we the consumers faithfully place in our recycling bins, actually lands up in landfills, and ultimately the oceans. Please look up the details for yourself. This postings was done by a company that produces washer sheets that are not packed in plastic, but in paper wraps. I am not advocating for those folks one way or another, but they do make a valid point in the plastic recycling story. So I thought I would follow up on their claims.
There are a number of respectable agencies as well as National Geographic confirming these facts. So what to do about it? That's what I have been pondering. Well, for one thing, quit buying ANYTHING that comes contained or wrapped in plastics. It can be done. Just takes a little work and research on our parts. Fine, you say, but I am working full time, have no time to devote to sorting through what can and can't be done. Let me put this to you. Each one of us as a consumer is putting one more nail into the coffin of our once lovely world by supporting the giants that produce plastics and don't give a darn about whether they recycle or not. It just isn't economical and after all, the bottom dollar is king!
Fortunately, the plastic grocery bags are going the way of the dodo, we have all been encouraged to bring our re-useable cloth bags to the store for our purchases. That is the tip of the iceberg, now, with pressure from the consumers, after all we are the ones spending the billions to feed these plastics magnates, perhaps they too will see the wisdom in packaging that really IS recyclable. There, rant over for now. Good luck. I for one am going to at least try a little harder to be more careful about this matter. Hope you find ways of your own that you will share with others. In a world where the single person seems to be inadequate to the mighty tasks ahead, if we all work toward the common goal, maybe just maybe, our grandchildren and great grandchildren won't have to pay quite so high a price for the 'convenience' of plastic packaging and products.
