    Fair enough, but Climate Town is a very well researched and put-together channel, and they cite their research. If any of this has changed significantly in the market he’s explicitly talking about (North America), then I can see your frustration. But I don’t think it’s gotten much better, especially not in the USA.

    A big part of the video, if you get around to watching it is about how plastic recycling is objectively something born from an industry scam. It’s a scam because they knew the recycling couldn’t work how they were promising it would, and they pushed it anyways to evade accountability.

    Some countries surely handle things better than North America, but that doesn’t automatically make plastic recycling a completely legitimate venture that isn’t laden with deception and and bullshit. I’m Canadian, and I know we don’t handle recycling in the best way. Do I still sort my trash, and recycle everything I’m able to? Of course! Anything is better than nothing, and Rollie explicitly says so in the video…

    But it’s still accurate: the idea of recycling plastic is born from deception & lies, for the sake of money. If lying for money isn’t a scam, I don’t know what is.



  • Yes, summer is indeed more hot.

    It’s hotter than the other seasons, and it’s hotter than it used to be.

    I don’t like the hot.

    I prefer the cold, and my comment was saying I prefer the cold, specifically because I can’t handle the hot well.

    I was saying it’s very silly to claim something along the lines of “The only reason people think they prefer the cold season is because they haven’t experienced real cold.”

    I’ve experienced the cold. I prefer it.

    I still see no contradiction, but maybe I’m just dense?

    Edit: Minor structural change, less ambiguous wording.
