Okay this may not be relatable for a lot of people who do not separate their trash into 4 different bins. But we have a dedicated bin for organic waste, we use it for energy production etc. The supermarkets put these little stickers on their fruit and veggies, they are similarly infuriating as stickers on non organic stuff.
It has a plastic film on it, and it is not what you want to try to compost unless you want contaminate your soil with microplastics. But most people just don’t know this or care
I can guarantee you your soil is already contaminated with microplastics that have been shed from car tires and entered the water-table.
Sorry, but your argument doesn’t work very well. It is classic whataboutism. Why would that make me want to contaminate it more with some stickers?
Because the microplastics from the sticker amount to a rounding error. You’re spending time and energy doing nothing of value. It’s like you’re picking each individual marshmallow from your lucky charms to reduce your sugar intake but then drinking 8 cans of coca-cola.
And it’s not whataboutism, i am not defending my own bad actions by attempting to deflect. That’s what whataboutism is. Not telling someone that it’s pointless to ration their toilet flushes when they’re sprinklers are still watering their lawn three times a day.
