除非你用 biodegradable 的垃圾袋否则用垃圾袋和買物塑料袋对landfill影响完全无分别 还能真正用少了

塑料袋子

每一年真正能回收再利用的百分比低得驚人

Those grocery-bag drop-off boxes, she says, are glorified trash bins. That swirly recycling symbol on coffee lids and granola pouches is more fantasy than fact. Clear plastic bottles are recyclable: green ones are not.  

In 2022, she estimates, the recycling industry has the capacity to process about 21 percent of the plastic used in water and soft drink bottles, 10 percent of milk jugs and juice bottles, less than 5 percent of grocery bags and shrink wrap, less than 2 percent of ice-cream tubs and coffee pods and less than 1 percent of plastic cutlery, coffee lids and DVD cases.  

最重要的是 Reduce, 减用,  Reuse 重用 比方 disposable 的东西用几次后再 dispose 它。 Recycle 再利用。这个需要很高的成本 所以真正 Recycled 的比例是非常小。

三个 R 的排名是 Reduce, Reuse, Recycle.  前面两个对环境保护的 impact 高太多了。

至於用垃圾桶 liner 来批判主人家的人 只能说太 low 了。去人家里作客 鹰一樣的眼光来决定主人家肯不肯花钱 这该得多低的 self esteem 才能有这个心理？下面守月说得一针见血．

• +1。我家的购物袋都是重用的，有的用来捡狗屎，有的用来装垃圾。与省几块钱没关系 -gccard- ♀ (0 bytes) () 01/01/2024 postreply 11:54:20
