This is why I need to remember the based takes I had when I was young.

I always thought it was silly that we were told to recycle because, who could do anything with an old half-melted plastic bottle of coke? But I assumed the people who owned the companies knew something I didn't.

I still recycle because it's just the right thing to do, but... I wonder what other lies I accidentally called.

I'm sure you called many...

Also show me a place where plastic recycling rates are over 10%

Use less or go for (less poisonous!) alternatives to plastic.
