18 month study of the myth of recycling in America
Trashed: The Secret Life of Plastic Recycling and Trashed: The Secret Life of Plastic Exports
ABC News spent the last 18 months following the trail of what happens to plastic bags after they are dropped off in those green boxes that say recycle. What is discovered is criminal, unethical and killing people. Apparently the corporate greed coupled with "Big plastic" pushes all of our recycling to other countries where they're either abandoned, or incinerated, pushing forth toxins into the air. And nobody cares. The interviews done with Walmart are just infuriating. They don't answer the questions. They talk about irrelevant topics. It's on Hulu. Watch it, but beware, it'll change your perception about recycling. I know that when I buy things in plastic, I think about how I'll just recycle the packaging when I'm done. Since recycling is a myth, this is making me want to reduce my use of plastic as much as possible.
