Not just the manufacturers. The complicity of governments, schools, NGOs promoting recycling. Staggering. Turns out everyone at the top knew it was bollocks. They created a mass cult of worshipping a triangular arrow god. All those thousands and thousands of hours teaching kids to recycle. All those thousands of gallons of hot mf water used to clean dirty recyclables. Only to chuck the stuff in a deep hole. All that time, we could've been doing something pragmatic, all those decades we could've been teaching kids something that has some meaning. Wasted.
