Having 6 different recycle bins with separate bins for colored and clear glass (both worthless) and composting, carbon tax making everybody live like misers, solar roof that its your duty to clean to get that extra 1% because power is 40c/kWh, reusable grocery bags, etc.
All these things are rituals like Muslims having to pray every few hours designed to not give you any rest or time to contemplate or to be free, filling up your life with constant reminders to mindlessly follow the rules.
That doesn't seem like a good response to me. I recycle everything that's worth recycyling; I don't do it because the government wants me to, I do it because I grew up piss poor, raised by people who grew up even piss-poorer, and I can appreciate what scarcity of resources really means. It has nothing to do with being green, I just understand how much energy and human ingenuity and effort went into making the stuff that I use every day, and I think it would be terrible to waste all that.
It's not about want, it's about force. They've forced a choice on me that I'll either use reusable bags, which are actually quite annoying, or fund the very blue-haired fairies responsible for this (and money is time).
I notice you didn't say what you feel a good response is to being forced like this to waste your own time/money. Just go along with it like a good little German Canadian?
Being miserable gives them a sense of purpose.

I thank the government every day for banning plastic grocery bags, forcing me to buy actual single-use bags to put the trash.
We are ruled by muppets who take advice from idiots posing as "experts", and globalists.
My county just added a 5c/bag tax so in response I stopped recycling entirely.
Because fuck them.
