      Most plastics, yes. Glass and metals? Those are entirely recyclable. The only thing pointless is giving up or selling out. Which one are you?

        Most of what people are talking about when they say recycling is plastics.

        We know glass, steel, aluminum are heavily recycled already, and consumer is largely uninvolved in that process.

        And plastic recycling today is a joke. Look into what your local facility actually does. Everywhere I’ve lived I’ve looked into it, and they aren’t really recycling. Often, they’ll dump it right in with the trash.
