Wife just got me a soda maker. We were sipping and chatting idly about how it's so weird that our little town doesn't offer recycling on our street. The bubbles were so strong that right on cue I was able to burp-scream WUD THE FUHHHHGHHKK about it

Seriously, what's with that

it's so weird that our little town doesn't offer recycling on our street.

A lot of places don't even recycle the recycling. The idea of recycling is great but in practice it's pretty much a shit show. Not enough places doing it, not enough facilities to handle the different materials, not enough money in it to motivate corporations to do better.

Sad but true. Best thing I can do is minimize plastic, hence the gadget

Yup! Recognizing the shortcomings can definitely help with future decision making about purchases. It would be nice to see a more urgent stance taken on recycling though.

...I pay for recycling, and my city has a recycling center. I hope they're actually recycling the stuff I send to them. 😩 I'm mostly talking about the metal and glass. That's the good stuff right there.

Honestly it would be better if we stopped trying to recycle plastic and just focused on metal, cardboard, paper, and maybe glass.
