We can't disrespect the 'value' by burning it but let it rot and make almost mini mountains of waste. OR the so called 'developed' nations can ship their crap to the 'developing' lands and feel better about themselves. What silly irony, hypocrisy is this all? We all know by now that the advanced nations (in terms of the definitions set by them only) are the main culprits. Asian countries have always had different cultural practices and ingenious ways of reusing and repurposing things. This 'use and throw' mentality is the biggest waste ESPECIALLY all the TP and such 'basic' amenities that that part of the planet considers as necessity which can be easily resolved by changing certain habits.

Zero waste is a good concept, but hardly practical and sustainable, especially they way you think everything can be feedback into the manufacturing process. Not at our current tech. or even in the near future dude.
A more realistic and practical approach is to reduce the waste as much as possible by different means, including relooking the entire manufacturing process upstream and down stream, including handling of end of life. product.
Setting up an impossible us not always helpful or useful.

Volcanos already give off fumes that can kill everyone. Might as well throw your waste into a volcano. It's not gonna be more dangerous than a literal volcano that can at random burst and just burn those around it. There was a famous volcano that turned the victims into statues and froze them in time. I think it was pompia. Volcanos can also poison lakes. Volcanos are already dangerous, I don't see how tossing trash is gonna do much

It's not hard to recycle? You put the recyclable materials in the blue bin, done it's that simple; not sure what your recycling company actually recycles? Go to their website it'll have print outs, pamphlets, or the like.
Recycling is SO easy.
You can EASILY learn it all in a day, just go to their website and print the informational thing out and tape it over the trash/recycling.

How is it even worth the time as a consumer to recycle when consumers only account for a small amount of waste. My plastic straw is not an issue. The tankers that ship goods and use more fuel than all the vehicles in America are a Much bigger issue, what about Coke, the number one creator of pollution or Nestle? None of this think small stuff matters. Prove me wrong.

I could have sworn someone mentioned to me that we only recycle about %20 of the things we all put in the recycle bins. So why bother to even recycle in the first place when it's not much of a difference. Because doesn't it cost money to recycle things? And who wants to spend money these days? I could be wrong but I'm just saying that in case it is true

bring back deposited bottles, force icompanies if needed. pet bottles or any plastic container must be made of at least 80% recycled material instead of recycleble. Don't send your trash to poor countries. Treat it like metal, metal is recycled a lot. Yes it won't be profitable but you need to draw a line somewhere otherwise it is vain effort.

The human labor it took to make something is less what I care about. When I buy something, I paid the value to do with that item as I please. Place value in people, not items. That aside, something HAS to be done about humans waste. I use all 3 of the -3 R Words- in my life lol. I'm also happy our city has a free recycling place!

Look at how our grandparents and great grand parents lived atleast here in the south many families of 5 had carbon footprints less than just one person of today. Our problem lies in the greed of capitalism items are made to be -disposable- not built to last like years ago. Good luck greed is a hard thing to change
