Okay ladies, if you’re married to your husband with two kids at the time, they are very young, like one is 3 and the other is 5 years old, and y'all also have a puppy. There is a hurricane coming that’s been said and told on the news to be prepared and leave as soon as possible since it’ll be in category 5. So, you and your husband prepared to leave with your kids, but in this scenario, there is the husband's cousin who is into voodoo like a voodoo witch or something like that, but the dad doesn’t mess with her like that. The husband wants to go with his wife and kids together so that when the hurricane comes, they all leave together as one as a family, but the wife made the choice to leave her husband with the two kids and go with his cousin and leave the city in the midst of the hurricane approaching. The husband/dad alone with the puppy is alone and has to survive somewhere to get to higher ground.

Now ladies, do you think it is right for a woman to do this, as she calls it “thinking about her two children,” but leave her husband behind?

Ladies, would you do this to your husband and leave him with the kids to flee off with his cousin or stick by your husband to leave together as a family since that’s what a marriage and family are supposed to do?

My experience: It took a few months to remember to bring bags into store with you but once that habit was ingrained I don't even notice EXCEPT it takes a TINY BIT longer each checkout & I've noticed cashiers are MUCH more willing to help bag stuff now. All in all it seems like a good idea. Many corporate stores gave out canvas or polymer bags at 1st (some still do 3 years later) so you could show off their logo for free advertising for them (you've really gotta just admire the amazing system capitalism is!).

Here's my concern, the fact remains that recycling is just not economically feasible to break even, let alone make a profit. These are some statistics about recycling which vary greatly by region:

In the United States, only about 35% of TOTAL waste is recycled or composted, according to the EPA. Specifically, plastic recycling rates are particularly low, with only 5% to 9% of plastics actually being recycled. Paper & cardboard fare better, with about 66% being recycled. Glass recycling stands at approximately 27%. These figures highlight significant inefficiencies and challenges in the recycling process, including contamination & economic factors that limit the recyclability of certain materials.

If you ever watched the Penn & Teller show "Bullshit" (where they expose common misperceptions), they did an episode on recycling that was eye-opening (still available to view on Paramount+ & Fubo but $ versions).

As a "radical commie liberal Marxist sheeple" as I've been called here I must say that initially I was for recycle everything but now I'm not so sure recycling in the USA is feasible economicly - especially if my tax dollars are subsidizing a losing fight! I now understand the obvious, that Europe is able to pull off amazing feats of recycling but they are much smaller and already have the infrastructure in place - neither of which applies to the United States. The end result of the Penn & Teller show (spoiler alert) is we recycle cuz it feels good.
