Do the right thing.

It may not always be clear at first what the right thing is. For example, recycling is fairly easy but accomplishes much less than something more difficult such as changing your diet or giving up your car.

Learn the differences, and do the right thing. 🤗

@breadandcircuses Recycling may not even have that degree of impact. When I asked my local authority where the waste they (i.e. their private, profit-making contractor) collect ends up, they didn't know! How's that for professional curiosity and environmental auditing? 😩

@JanPV @breadandcircuses Most of it ends up mixed up in landfills. It's a largely fruitless endeavor.

@stooovie Yes, I suspect that's true. A number of invsetigations that tagged waste showed this was happening. Some was being burned in the open air in Turkey. 😡 But, why worry, when the kerbside companies get their fees, regardless?

@JanPV yeah, so the best we can do is stop wasting out energy and resources on recycling and filtering and do more of public transport, less planes, stuff like that

@stooovie A good fraction of our public transport providers is owned by foreign government public sector pension funds. 😩
