@breadandcircuses I been throwing all my trash in a bin, putting all my recycleables in the recycle bin, including but not limited to stuff I get zero cash back for, staying indoors and I dont use a car unless I absolutely must travel I carpool...
Why isnt the world saved yet?
I cant do more without sacrificing myself. Am I breathing in too much oxygen? I'm sorry! I dont know what else to do!

"..... a circular economy prevents the generation of waste. A closer look, however, reveals that a large part of this vision of the future recycles today's normality..."

I’d be funny if everyone showed up at the next town hall demanding zoning laws support car free walk ability (mixed use) and building codes 3 story dense housing.
@breadandcircuses When future intelligence discovers our records they'll go "Hm, that was an intelligent specie, but any top predator that fails to evolve to avoid overpopulation is doomed for extinction by pollution and depletion." Too late now: large populations make technology a necessity, our technology ensures we will remain too fragile to last. We are overpopulated, and the future conflict of resources between cleaning up the environment and supporting the elderly is impossible to resolve.
@breadandcircuses In the early '70s I learned from my teacher that if children would take showers instead of baths, we'd save the water supply. Essentially.
@Eka_FOOF_A@breadandcircuses it was a red herring to begin with. Just a thing to make people feel like they are doing something, whilst the corporate world continues to manufacture the poisons.
Recycle was fine. That's why they put so much money in advertising it.
It was the reduce part that got eliminated by the capitalists quickly. Reuse didn't last much longer. But oh hey, recycle that Starbucks. Look. We are saving the planet with smaller cups!
It's been well known in the industry it's a fraud but theoretically, it CAN be recycled. Just like theoretically I can regrow carrots from my carrot tops.
The fact only YouTubers can successfully do it is beside the point. It CAN be done and that's what industry sells. It's a big can of bullshit
