Me too. I'm conserving far more resources now than when I was younger. Heck, when I was a kid, I never recycled; then I became more and more of a recycler, and now I'm big into "reuse is better than recycling!" I fix when I can, rather than tossing and buying new. I'm waaay more conservative than when I was a kid.
And, like you, I'm ready to go out and kill Nazis, just like my granddad's did.
Even after finding out that Recycling is mostly bullshit? You still do it? I mean, I'd do it if I could ensure it was actually happening, but in most places it simply doesn't and goes to the landfill anyhow.
Glass and metal recycling do happen as far as I know but yeah plastics is mostly bs
Despite doing recycling where I live, they explicitly do not recycle glass. Safety hazard, maybe?
The high melting point of glass makes it inefficient to recycle since we don’t get enough of our power from renewables yet.
