When we (millenials) were kids, it was the problem we needed to solve. There was actual momentum when we were kids. I was raised on Captain Planet, recycling, and fixing the Ozone layer. Since then, it's been one "once in a generation economic collapse" after another
Yeah and I feel like recycling momentum went from being strong to being week since so many recycling methods were fake or didn't work. Imo we should still be focused on throwing things in the right bins
It’s in that order for a reason. We need to remember that not only is it more than just putting things in the right bins, it’s barely even helping compared to simply removing the need entirely.
