The meme used a shitty comparison. The green bin program is one of the most effective and effecient waste reduction strategies. It reduces the distances garbage may have to travel, it reduces methane gas production, it reduces landfill use which extends landfill lifespans, and it creates clean enough compost to be used locally for decorative gardens and lawns.
Using something like don't buy that product, the government says its bad, meanwhile the government failing to regulate said product would have maybe been a better comparison.
