Just a random question, but hear me out

True, periwinkle. Does recycling of plastic also produce toxins? (Serious question, I don’t know.)

It just seems like recycling alone isn’t the solution and people tend to get all giddy and self-congratulatory about it. There has to be a better way. I don’t know what that is exactly, and until someone smart comes up with the solution, we’ll just have to continue to flatten and sort and use as little as possible. It seems like an awful lot of oil is expended to move air trapped in cardboard boxes around the country.

So…a task for all the science-oriented applicants…develop a biodegradable, non-toxic alternative to plastic!!! ;)
