Very enlightening post on the "seven bins" thing from Tom Forth (who I don't think is on the fediverse yet?). Worth a read! https://tomforth.co.uk/sevenbins/
@Floppy I moved to Milton Keynes in 1991, and they did kerbside recycling collection. We had three bins - cans/glass, paper/card, everything else. That was over 30 years ago. I've been separating my recyclables ever since, even when where I was living wasn't doing kerbsire collection.
@Floppy Down here in Pembrokeshire, we have 6 bins - paper, cardboard, glass, cans and hard plastics, food waste, non-recyclable. Non-recyclables only get picked up every 3 weeks, 3 bags max. And you know what? It's not a fucking problem.
I just don't understand why it's still controversial. It's makes no sense. There's entire generations - which Sunak is a part of - for which this is an entirely normal thing that everybody does and he unveils like it's some kind of bold epiphany. Wtf?
@jezhiggins @Floppy well he and his useless colleagues can't actually sort anything important so they have to bring up this bullshit
@Darkedge @Floppy It's worse than a fucking school playground. This is where the Tories continued and increasingly rapid intellectual impovorishment has left us - claiming to be making "the hard choices" by shadowboxing with imaginary problems while letting the real issues just fucking slide and slide and slide. Bunch of cunts. All of them.
@jezhiggins @Floppy in my darker moments I do wish quite extreme harm on them and all their mates & hideous corrupt cronies.
