    Actually there’s no point in recycling plastic because the plastic you put in the recycling bin ends up in a landfill anyway, so yes we should be going after the industries instead of blaming individuals

      That very much depends on where you live. Deciding to not recycle because you think it doesn’t get done properly in your locality is just as dumb as not recycling because you think industry is a bigger polluter.

      I understand that climate change isn’t being entirely caused by you not recycling properly, but that doesn’t mean it’s not a shitty move to just say fuck it and not even bother trying.
