Recycling is a toxic lie.

Big brands and petrochemical corporations keep selling the public a convenient and comforting story to hide the hard truth: they simply have to STOP PRODUCING SO MUCH PLASTIC.

Two panel meme comparing two photos of actor Willem Dafoe. Left panel: Willem Dafoe by a harbour in Wes Anderson’s The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou, smiling, with the caption “me when I thought recycling would save the world.” Right panel: a black and white image of Dafoe in Robert Eggers’  The Lighthouse, dressed as a grizzled lighthouse keeper, looking tired and serious, with the caption “me after I found out that plastic corporations invented plastic recycling to put the responsibility onto the consumer even though they knew plastic recycling was not chemically or financially feasible, and now I have plastic in my brain, lungs and testicles.”
