Why You’re Recycling Wrong
13th March 2019
Vox is today’s Nanny.
A classic proglodyte piece of ‘journalism’. (Actually, it doesn’t go into motivation, so the headline probably ought to read ‘HOW you’re recycling wrong’.) But it assumes that you are stupid and Doing It Wrong, while the author is Smart and With It and is therefore entitled to wag a finger or two our way. Mission accomplished! Calling it Problems Some People Have With Recycling would let you off the hook, and our sense of moral superiority won’t let us do that.
I suspect that the ‘why’ is that we just don’t give a shit about being careful to follow collectivist programs like recycling, and I’m okay with that.
