I can see recycling plastic because it lasts forever- but not paper, which turns back into earth.
But only in the most cost efficient manner. And never dumped into the ocean.
When you burn plastic, it “decomposes” a lot faster. :)
I was just dumping out a box of used Keurig cups at work and thinking, if I had a bunch of those I could use them instead of gravel to fill the bottom of large plant pots . And with the holes in the cups, the water passing through would leech out the nutrients in the coffee grounds.
I have to give that a bit more thought, I think.
