But, hey, that's not going to stop NPR from blaming the public for not re-using that yogurt cup. Soo sooo quick to blame the public and not the useless corporations who can't be bothered to spend the research to figure out how to improve recycling programs.

I'm pretty sure I first heard about this problem on NPR.

I hate linking this video, because it's an insulting take. They interview a bunch of recycling companies, and only show their side of things, while blaming the consumer for not reusing their own trash.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=iBGZtNJAt-M

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

That was what a week ago? Still can't believe npr actually wasted their time investigating fucking yogurt/ice cream cups.
