We don’t need a handful of people doing zero waste perfectly, we need millions of people doing it imperfectly.
Remember that plastic creates pollution at every stage of its creation, use, and disposal, regardless of the form it takes: packaging, park benches, artificial turf, fabric and more.
Each piece of plastic carries the weight of its origin, forged in the fires of expansion and extraction.

The only thing that’s actually being recycled is the myth that recycling will stop plastic pollution. The industry playbook worked in the 80s, on the eve of plastic product bans… [but] only 9% of plastics ever made has been recycled—because plastic is not designed to be recycled. The industry already knew this, and the gambit was as cynical then as it is now.
