    We sort trash in 4 bins and one bag.

    1. Paper
    2. Glass and metal
    3. Bio, food waste
    4. General waste that doesn’t belong in the other bins.
    5. Isn’t a bin but a plastic bag for plastic.

    Lets say we didn’t have a bag specifically for plastic, that waste would have ended up in 4. Most of 4 is burned. By putting plastic in its own bag it increased the amount of plastic returned to waste management and reduced the amount left out in nature and burned.

    We’ve been dealt a shit hand, but we can try making the best out of the situation. Giving up isn’t an option.
