I happened to be in the kitchen washing my dishes at 5 pm just now. The cleaner came in and emptied the organic waste bin into the general waste bin.

I’m scandalised. If the organic waste bin weren’t there, I wouldn’t think much of it. But to have it be there and be a total lie isn’t cool. 🤬

recycling is a scam

I do agree with recycling in principle and I do my bit regarding aluminium, glass and cardboard but everything else is just not recycled by industry or gov.

my bit for the environment is to consume less, a lot lot less,

I’m also trying to make choices that result in less waste, eg, a cardboard is better than a plastic bottle

  This is the most important bit of anything for the environment. We’re so primed by our society to consume, to want more. It’s almost rebellious to go against it and deliberately consume less.

    So much of what people buy they don’t even regard as consumption
    
    like redoing a perfectly good kitchen every few years just because of fashion

Yup. The recycling bins at work are a lie. The cleaners dump them in together. Even the pure paper ones meant for the animal house. 😾
