Is recycling BS? ♻️ I’ve heard a few times that recycling just doesn’t do as much as we might think. Eventually I decided to look into it.
I learned...
♻️ ...that just two years ago, our whole global system of managing recycling collapsed.
♻️ ...that this collapse triggered diplomatic feuds between Canada and the Philippines, France and Malaysia, the US and Cambodia...
♻️ ...that recycling was initially invented by the plastic industry to avert regulations.
Hope you like this video! It’s along the style of explainers I’m hoping to make more of, so let me know if you’ve got some ideas or topics you think I should explore.
