Honestly though, in a lot of cases even if its possible to recycle it… if some shmuck isn’t poised to profit off it noone will do it. Maybe I am just a doomer, but it hurts knowing that we have the tools to make such a better world… And instead we’ve built this special little hell in our corner of the universe

Yeah i think recycling plastic is possible, we just have to pay for it. If the market won’t bear it, simply make it a public service.

We can’t really tackle the climate and keep capitalism at the same time, they are completely contrary.
