I spent a half an hour this morning picking up single use plastic and styrofoam and other materials such as glass and rubber items. I do this once or twice a month on this section of Atlantic shoreline in the Florida Keys. I could have spent 5 hours and still not have gotten it all. Plastic bottles and bottle caps, styrofoam of various sizes, shoes, toothbrushes, rope, hoses etc. Millions of years from now, long after humans have killed themselves off, I hope that Mother Earth may be restored. Yes, ban the plastic garbage bags holding this stuff too. -

‘Outraged that some plastic you send for recycling ends up being burned? Don’t be’
An interesting perspective, worth reading.
Doesn’t make me hate plastic packaging or the supermarkets that use it any less.
Nearly all of our soft plastic waste is associated with food. We still need to attack the source.

‘Most soft plastic collected for recycling is burned, campaigners say’
Damn. I sincerely hope Co-Op do better than Tesco and Sainsbury’s appear to, because that’s where we diligently take our soft plastic for recycling.
We do everything we can to reduce the amount coming through the door, but the supermarkets just aren’t helping near enough.
We need to #bansingleuseplastic for health and the #environment’s sake.

This ePetition just came through the local networks. I really appreciate young people continuing to work towards meaningful environmental policy and support them whenever I can. It's one of the few avenues of hope left.
Go here, New South Welshmen, sign: https://www.parliament.nsw.gov.au/la/Pages/ePetition-details.aspx?q=aH-ghevxuFyxSvDS7RzpBA

‘They lied’: plastics producers deceived public about recycling, report reveals https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/feb/15/recycling-plastics-producers-report?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
Am I alone in being completely unsurprised by any of this?
Of course they knew. But free market capitalism doesn’t care about waste. It’s external to the money flow model. It only cares about capital and there were (arguably still are) no market incentives to fix the waste problem. So they haven’t.

❇️Reduce and reuse first❇️ ...and then recycle if absolutely necessary. In Canada🇨🇦 we have chain of stores called "Bulk Barn" (https://www.bulkbarn.ca/home-en/index_ALL_PROV.html) that weighs your jars first, you fill them, then pay for the difference. Works great‼️

Great thing on @Mastodon right now is you can go first to start some new hashtags, apparently use them here more for cross-server searches. Lots already in use. Def want will more here, adding #SFQuake #Books #PeaceProcessing #SanFrancisco #SFHistory #ClimateActivism #SolarHeating #Bikes #eBikesSF #EarthquakeSF #BenShahn #BanSingleUsePlastic
