Wait until OP hears about the evils of cardboard recycling, I drive by daily and see the towering eternal flame of methane. Sadly methane is sneaky and not all of it gets burned.
save yourself first before thinking of others
This meme is missing a third panel with a cancer patient in their death bed.
Me watching op how he’ll eat beef this week
microplastics might explain that epic rant about lobster.
But they sell those soda branded shirts made out of soda bottles!! /s
This is a PSA that as a whole, the plastics recycling and packaging industry isn't well regulated, and all those plastic drink and soda bottles at the grocery store that now say "Made with recycled plastics"? You have NO idea what type of plastics are in there now or the level of decay, and neither do the manufacturers.
Do not drink out of, eat out of, or wear anything that is made from recycled plastics.
Recycled plastics encountered in the world should be assumed to be toxic unless you know for certain they aren't, and should not be considered fit for food use, medical use, or prolonged human contact.
