   Guess what % of plastics have ever been #recycled? No prizes :(

   And guess who knew about it all the time?

     @dalias @infobeautiful I'm only half joking when I say I want to know what percentage of the "still in use" category is Lego

     @infobeautiful If accurate, the "still in use" category is really impressive. Plastics made to be single use garbage or overproduction to play stupid retail inventory games then get destroyed are infuriating, but the ones made to be things of lasting value are underappreciated vs other materials with same or greater environmental impacts.
