That could be a solution for plastic bottles but what about other things like, say, a bucket or parts of an umbrella?
Plastic is so much cheaper. Switching to alternatives might destroy economies since so many can barely afford it as it is.
I like the idea of reuse but it seems unlikely that alternate materials would become the norm. Also, aside from growlers, filling bottles is not something I’ve seen in California.
Yes, as long as consumers continue to pick the shiny new plastics that corporations, focus groups, & marketers expect or convince them to pick.
Recycling plastic is & always was a scam.
In their 2024 paper, The Fraud of Plastic Recycling, The Center for Climate Integrity discovered that only 9-10% of all plastic has been & can be recycled.
Current U.S. plastic recycling is “only 5-6%”.
Overall paper recycling is estimated at <69% & glass at <32%. Not great numbers in general but far greater than plastic.
While glass, aluminum, paper, & obviously recycled plastics like six-pack rings should still be separated, others like those that are solid-colored, should be avoided if possible.
Unfortunately, trying to eliminate plastic seems to be nearly impossible if you buy almost anything today.
Lest we forget, this is the same industry that gifted us microplastics & forever chemicals so profits are clearly elevated over people.

Guy on the right has a camel toe.
There is no Willy Wonka anymore. He died with Gene Wilder. Also, that looks like a young Peter Thiel. Too bad he survived.
Nope. It’s the catchy original definitions untainted by despots.
While neither party can be trusted, I’ll take socialism over fascism every damned time.
What number maxim is that?
Give it a try. I was blown away by how good it is. I prefer the audiobook because it’s so long.
The Maxims of Ptahhotep. First book we know of & filled with practical advice.
You go outer to inner, especially due to the shapes. So it says “Born to Ride Donald J Rump for 45”.
The question is 45 what?
Minutes? Hours? Months? Years?
Could this be related to the kompromat Russia holds? What a scandal!
Ummmm… from what I hear the older they get the hornier they get for Rump’s rump.
Yes but imagine the pig is a porcine Rump.
Can you unsee it?
Black Mirror. Episode 1.
Ummm… that doesn’t seem to match up with what I understand riding to be. I mean think of the guys as motorcyclists & Trump as the motorcycle.
Yes.
