    Man recycling being a marketing ploy to keep making terrible packaging is annoying!

    I learned a lot, it is a bit embarrassing how little I knew about it. It is a lot like communal recycling, An efficient system has lots of buckets for lots of different plastics, same with laundry. Plus found lots of cool stuff for washing polyester like the guppy bag or cora ball

    A good website I use to help was https://directory.goodonyou.eco/ I recommend because fast fashion is a seriously harmful thing for people and the environment.
