i lost faith in recycling the more I read about it.

especially when most recycling is sent to poor countries to be burned, and if it is actually recycled it is then shipped back again as a single use spoon, then sent back... all the way to less quality materials, and some uses are for fleece that produces a shit ton of microplastics.

real solutions is to ban single use plastics (maybe exceptions for medical uses).

now I'm in the States and I have no idea how to recycle where I am anyways.
