Plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that recycling is not an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution. That has not stopped them from promoting it, according to a new report.
“The companies lied,” said Richard Wiles, president of fossil-fuel accountability advocacy group the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI), which published the report. “It’s time to hold them accountable for the damage they’ve caused.”
We are not responsible beings when money can be made. It repeats itself over and over again. We cheat the systems we make ourselves, but we’re too dumb, greedy and selfish to think about consequences. We basically don’t give s shit about the planet and life, someone else can take care of that down the line, right?
maybe we can evolve past this selfishness.
