Most plastics cannot be recycled.

Most plastics that can be recycled are not recycled.

Most plastic garbage ends up in landfills, is dumped into the ocean, or is incinerated, which poisons the atmosphere.

Microplastics are in your bloodstream right now, and are probably also in the food you eat.

BUT THAT'S OKAY!! 😃 Because producing and selling plastics is very profitable for the oil industry. Capitalists ❤️ plastic and we should too!!

Here in Germany there have recently been stricter recycling quotas. What happened next?
Plastic recycling is almost always downcycling. Suddenly everything is made of plastic. Totally crazy. For example forest banks. Protective films against weeds. Carpets made from recycled plastic bottles are advertised on television. Your own living room becomes a landfill and you pay money for it.
All just so that plastic can continue to be produced.
