Plastic producers have known for more than 30 years that recycling is not an economically or technically feasible plastic waste management solution. That has not stopped them from promoting it, according to a new report.

“The companies lied,” said Richard Wiles, president of fossil-fuel accountability advocacy group the Center for Climate Integrity (CCI), which published the report. “It’s time to hold them accountable for the damage they’ve caused.”

      Wouldn’t be so bad if people would just stop reminding us how shitty they are. We get it, you’re here to nut and die angry, good job.

        It woudn’t be so bad if instead of hiding from our problems we actually accepted and faced them.

        Ignoring stuff like this will just make things keep getting so much worse than they already are.
