Good thread on the whole ‘plant trees’ thing (preview is only showing the end of it for some reason, the top bit is the more interesting bit):

This sort of shit really pisses me off. I never have any qualms about putting waste into UK landfill, in fact I prefer it. If we can’t recycle our own shit in our own country then it should be buried here. We should not send it half way around the world to then be dumped there.

All because its ‘cheaper’ to do it no doubt, never mind the CO2 cost of transporting our shit around the world and not being disposed of properly.

    It is really shit. What’s the point of people attempting to recycle at home if it goes and gets dumped and burned anyway.
    Countries that ship of their recycling to other countries should be 100% responsible to ensure it’s been dealt with properly.

    We recycle as much as we can. If you look at all the stuff you think should be recycled it can’t be for some reason. Sometimes it says maybe recycled. It’s also down your local authorities as to whether or not they’ve got the facilities to do it. The manufacturers need to up there game massively also. But as ever it’s always comes down to cost.

    Hursty The Turks are happy to burn plastic for about 70% of developed nations apparently. All Erdogan’s doing of course as its a little money earner and those fuckin apes in power care not for their own environment/country.

      There is fuck all in the way of industrial recycling plants in Britain… which is mad. In a post Brexit distopia, it would be a great new industry… oh wait, Brits dont want to do menial jobs anymore, thats why we had loads of foreigners in our agricultural industry. Oh well, plastic recycling is bullshit anyway, any use of plastic products will see them brake down, get into the water system, get into your body, where they act like oestrogen, and ultimately make the entire planet impotent. Buy alternate products instead. I’m off to boil my head.

      Hursty All because its ‘cheaper’ to do it

      I’ve heard we’re paying in crypto. So not cheaper, but absolutely free

          Mad_Cyril 😂 The Turks do love crypto even though they are trying to ‘ban’ it
