that this is not enough of a dipshit statement to exclude him from everybody's good books is... like, what's the point
if you cannot plainly see that this is the most retarded suggestion it is possible to make under capitalism, it can only be because you have paid attention to no world event since like 1750
the plastics recycling lie (it's just been shown that plastics recycling does not work, can not work, and that the oil companies have known this, lied about it, and then made money selling additional recycling-related products since like the 70s) is so recent and yet still walks out there, with his bare face hanging out, and says this shit
I've never heard that plastic recycling straight up doesnt work but it sounds like something the oil companies would do. Do you have a link to a documentary or something about that matter?
Basically it costs too much to recycle most plastic. It's just so much cheaper to sell it to impoverished countries that will either burn it or dump it somewhere.
