   Remembered it's the local "plastic packaging trash collection day".
   Checked for sleeping geckos before slipping on shoes.
   Hauled out 20L monthly bag of plastic waste to collection point.
   0.7L/day of wrappers, egg-cartons, etc...way too much plastic.
   Seems that about 60% gets "thermally recycled" i.e. burnt for power generation; only 21% gets materially recycled, but 3/4 of that is exported.
   Doesn't seem sustainable.
