alt Hacker NewsI started throwing everything in the garbage except aluminum over the past couple of years. Better off in a US landfill than shipped of to asia and dumped in the ocean.

Does your municipality offer composting? That's where a lot of my waste paper ends up.

I hate to agree but you're basically right. If we switched everything disposable (glass, plastic, paper) into an aluminum version of itself, the world would be a much better place. Aluminum pizza boxes and Amazon shipments would be weird, and would probably need rounded corners (hello iPhone designers going into box design at retirement) but they would be 100.000% recyclable.

Asia stopped taking our semi-recyclable waste a few years back, which is how all this greenwashing was exposed
