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.”

@greenpeace Penn & Teller did a segment of their show, "Bullsh!t" on this. "Litterbug", and the weeping Chief were all part of a PR campaign because one of the states was pushing legislation making Coca-Cola (and others, presumably) responsible for the results of switching away from glass.

@greenpeace That's why i'm still a fan of glass bottles and metal cans. Both are 100% recycleable.

@greenpeace we need to stop producing plastic from oil completely. I see no harm in recycling packaging (that would become less if plastic becomes more expensive). But things that are produced to break and single use items that don't get repaired should stop.
