It's a profit-driven business. Waste disposal services used by most Local Governments make money off of it. They wouldn't do it if there wasn't a profit incentive.
I avoid plastics as much as humanly possible, not so much because of the environmental problems, but because I'm selfish and don't want cancer-causing estrogen mimickers and endocrine disrupters swimming around inside my body.
Most people are not aware that there's an inherent scam in recycling deposit fees. You are charged by the bottle for plastic, but paid by the weight in most recycling places. In the end with small bottles you do not get back the entire recycling fee. With aluminum cans, it is more equitable as most cans are about the same weight.
Landfills are fine. Unlike what this clown says, there really is plastic in the oceans because people litter, mostly in Asia and Africa.
I have seen trash filled streets in Asia get hit by torrential downpours, sending all that garbage into the oceans. That's how it happens, and the main thing we can control is homelessness in the US, as they are likely the majority of our litter.
I used to work in a landfill outside Melbourne Australia in 2016, saw all the main rubbish trucks and all the recycling trucks drive to the same area and dump and get compacted into the same landfill. Saw it with my own eyes for 6 months I worked there.
Boycott corporations and China.

Great, now do a another video about how man-made climate change is also a scam.

He makes some good points, but I still don't like this faggot.
Don't we owe it to future generations to pile up usable resources in landfills for them?

As someone who works for one of the large waste companies once told me “recycling is just a way to make the white man wash his garbage”
