As a follow up to my earlier comment, I shared the video on Facebook. It was quickly deleted by Facebook, and I was given a warning. Apparently, Facebook considers a video pointing out a scam is itself a scam.
Maybe we should return to glass for bottling and similar uses. There are areas where plastic products are good and viable, others not so good or viable. Smart uses versus convenient uses.
Ken, this young lady has been trying to get a company going that uses plastic to make building blocks for the construction of homes & buildings. She hasn’t gotten much support even though blocks have be already made. Her process of making these blocks is fairly inexpensive and any & all types of plastic can be made without the sorting that has been a problem for making new plastic out of the old. Her company is California based & she has traveled the globe searching for support of her product. If nothing else, please consider at least looking into what she does & the product she makes.
Is the incineration of plastic waste bad? It seems we do that with much of the plastic waste in the US, but then the west wants to deny developing countries to build similar incinerators which means it ends up in the environment. Here’s an article about a process that shows some promise of recycling plastic. There is a lot of anxiety and miss information on this issue. But plastics have a long positive column too, contributing to many technological advancements in medicine, aerospace, and other disciplines. Maybe we’d rather have our existing challenges with plastic than a world without it.
Wish there had been more clarity on the recycling of plastic bottles. I thought I heard a hint in this post that plastic bottles might be an exception to the scam. Some states, such as Oregon, tack a fee on plastic bottles at the time of purchase that can only be redeemed if and when the bottle is recycled. Is this beneficial to the environment or a scam? If they aren't recycled, do they become just litter with a cleanup cost?

I've run in to that lately as well. Must be everything from his substack.

Well, first the state keeps that money. The bottles can be recycled ... but the "costs" factors still remain with them. About 30% get recycle.
Get some fresh air, dude.
