    I think it’s even worse. They didn’t tell us what was and wasn’t recyclable. They used symbols very similar to the recycling logo to stamp on various types of plastics to classify them. Most of the types used are one time use, they never were meant to imply recycling, that’s just the symbol appearance.

    Recycling started off as the third R and last resort, the first two were Reduce and Reuse. Those were not compatible with an economy based on consumerism and growth, so Recycling became the focus, creating an industry to pick through the few things that could be recycled and trashing the rest, and encouraging the public to buy more because it’s not a problem as long as you participate.

    And if you don’t participate, all the problems are your fault. Not the companies making the stuff, they’re just doing what you want.



  • There’s nothing for Lemmy that I know of, but in the beginning of the first migration from Reddit there was such a thing being worked on by various people for Kbin. Kbin unfortunately is broken for a while now due to the developer’s health issues, but there was a fork made called Mbin. And the good news is that the extensions for Kbin seem to work for the most part with Mbin via ViolentMonkey. I can’t recall if I had to do much of anything to tweak it. I don’t know if there’s been any work since then, only that it still works for me now.

    I looked back to find something to recommend to research, but short of using VM and searching for scripts to use with a Mbin site (like fedia.io) I’m not sure.
