  • 100 percent true. Any item created by a company should be collected back by that company for full disassemblely and recycled fully.

    This should be true for any thing, such as tvs, microwaves, fridges, couches, beds, plastic bottles, fast food packagings. Companies should accept the item back at pickup points easily accessible, and take back any item no matter how old. Think of beer bottle collections at your local beer store.

    We as tax payers should really stop allowing corporations to use public funded landfills and garbage collection for “free”. These costs should really be part of the products created internalised by corporations.
















  • Unfortunately this could be the case and the cynic in me feels this could be a green washing scheme like you said.

    But hopefully with what some cities are doing now with charging the full economic and social cost of blue & black bin programs to companies and manufactures this could start having a real good impact.

    Specially since most manufactures shift the cost of recycling and trash to communities and tax payers. Instead this cost should be internalised by the manufacturer and retailer.

    Hopefully this kind of shift promotes better sustainable packaging, and prevents things like planed obsolescence and fast fashion.






  • You could use a throwaway email and signup for an account. The account creation is a little tricky if you don’t use a “real name” but a name generator website may help in this, or use a combination of two tv character names.

    Also use a privacy oriented web browser that signs you out each time, something like mule for android or librewolf for desktops.

    One thing not to do is use the FB app or the messenger app on your phone, instead do everything on a browser.
