But I really don't expect there has been much change in those two numbers 30% and 1%. If there were a much bigger increase in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/plastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#plastic</a> recycling, I expect we would have seen a lot more fanfare. And the whole political notion of recycling as a placebo to appease whining <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/environmentalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmentalists</a>... I think that's true.

Colin PurringtonA key part of my soil improvement plan at the community garden is to always have a bag handy to put the pieces of plastic, glass, and metal that turn up when I'm digging.
