@MikeDunnAuthor We should, but I figure I'm pretty much powerless to affect that,
But I can ensure my plastic goes to landfill.

@goatsarah @MikeDunnAuthor what is the alternative, though? people think of plastic bottles, but what about food, esp. prepared food?
looking around the room here, there are at least 30 electrical, IT components, and domestic items made of plastic, and synthetic fibres.
the worst part is that PET bottles are among the most recyclable things in the recycling world. my gut feel is that there is not a particularly good business case for recycled PET compared to new PET. likely cost and quality.
@goatsarah @MikeDunnAuthor funny, most other apartment buildings in the street have a plastic bucket for glass. apparently we're ineligible. nobody seems to know why.
ever seen the movie Brazil? 🙄
@goatsarah @MikeDunnAuthor our council has basically made it impossible for us to recycle glass. live inner city, and don't own a car as the council wanted when this place was built, and no glass collection bins either. so, communal glass bins. was one 10 minutes walk away.
bin was removed because of some "anti social behaviour" (no idea what) and so the closest one is now 30 minutes away on foot. as a result all glass simply goes into the bin.
unintended consequences, etc.
