    The thing is just that its not that one woman, but hundreds of millions if not billions of people that follow trash separation rules.
    This would actually have a pretty large effect, however sadly the recycling system is broken and often just a complete lie in many places in the world.

    This is exactly why I don’t beat myself up over any of this shit… I will do what I can within my own power, but I don’t go out of my way to stop using plastic forks or anything like that. It’s pointless.

    Being ecologically friendly is its own reward.

    If your neighbor’s house and lawn is cluttered with garbage and rotting food, do you also let your house gather the same?

    Or do you wish they did a better job and kept your house clean all the same?

    What if you had 95 neighbors all full of garbage and rotted food? Is there any number that would make you do the same?
