The whole recycling scam makes me upset. For decades the message was to recycle for the environment. But it was all just shipped to China and then dumped into the oceans. It actually would've been better if it went to landfills, at least then it's safely contained. Another lie was that we're running out of landfill space, there's so much land out there.

Like most environmental issues, the focus should've been on producers not consumers. Tax plastic usage and producers will use less of it.
