idgi… So it’s just a way that makes it easier for bottles to be recycled?
Imma be honest, I can barely stay on top of emptying my bin at home, the chances of me having the time and energy to do this are non existent.
Do you sometimes or occasionally go to a store? If yes then great. Simple deposit the empty bottle into the bag you take to the store and you’re dandy!
That is a simple trick only millions of people are performing every day
Let my ADHD ass introduce you to my bucket of used batteries, and my giant bag of “soft plastics”, both of which require a trip to the store (5 minute walk away) to recycle.
Hey, but at least you got them in a bucket dude, good for you.
People without ADHD cannot physically experience the difficulty in doing what isn’t directly occupying our mind. Anything we accomplish should be celebrated.
Sure, throw them away. But you also won’t get back your
€0.15 (12p) per can and €0.25 per plastic bottle
you pay on top for every beverage (canned or in plastic).
Here we are doing it for so long, I don’t remember when we introduced this system and I can say:
- Trash on the streets reduced by a whole lot
- It just became a part of our shopping routine.
I’m pretty sure, you will find the necessary energy and time.
Brother, even with the best intentions, I will not find the energy and time. It just won’t happen.
More ADHD tax ☹️
I guess with most things ADHD, it happens if you are convinced that the task is important and worthwhile, and build it into routine instead of something that is ‘remembered’ or forced on you as an ‘adhd tax’. Positive self talk and mindset are tenants of ADHD habit building.
Maybe reading up on the good it does might help you find value to the task
