Afternoon everyone… if plastic is so bad, and I’m sure it is, why don’t we stop using it and make stuff that will last out of metal and wood again?

about 20 years ago we were at a big dump in Montreal. It’s huge. The garbage trucks were rolling in one after an other and dumping, and right next to them were the recycling trucks, dumping everything over the same edge... I’ve kinda thought recycling was a crock ever since.

Probably it's easier, faster and more profitable to make plastic products. I've heard quite a few similar stories, it does really make one wonder.

Our town quit recycling because it was too expensive to transport it to a facility to recycle it...

That's fairly common for small places. Not sure what's more expensive, recycling now or the clean up after wards.

Anything we do now is expensive, it's amazing what people throw out these days also...

I always did like to recycle and even more so now. Used vehicles, steel and lumber always were my favorites.

I believe in recycling but it seems they waste more money trying...

Likely it'll cost a lot more later, it usually does.

I think most people do try, as usual all it takes is a few fools to ruin it for the rest.

Seems everyone is fighting each other these days and can't come to a happy medium on any subject. Last couple years have proven that..
