The EV cult is straight up delusional, at this point.

Serious question: What part of a milk jug can't be recycled?
I don't recycle them anyway, I'm honestly curious.
This is going to blow your mind, but plastics actually really suck at being recycled. You know all those endless bottles and plastic containers you throw in the recycling bin? You know where they end up?
In the ground, as landfill. Because that's all it's good for.
Plastic degrades and has to be hyper-sorted before recycling and it costs about 5x as much to recycle plastic as it does to make new plastic.
tl;dr, recycling is a scam and is just a fancier way of saying 'landfill'.
The hippies living in cities large enough to have single-stream recycling still manage to be awful at sorting. I see people throwing straight-up garbage in public recycling bins, and that contaminates the entire batch.
What's the point if it's just another glorified garbage can?
Apartment dwellers are the worst. They'll walk their dogs and put the dog shit bags in the recycle bins in front of people's homes even though they are bright fucking blue with a giant recycle symbol on them. They either are so dumb they don't know blue bins are for recyclables only, so dumb they don't know bagged dog shit isn't considered a recyclable, or such selfish cunts they don't care and do it anyways.
