In the U.S., plastic bags generally don’t go in the recycling bin. What should you do instead?From @AssociatedPress: "Over 3 million tons of plastic bags, sacks and wraps in the United States went to landfills in 2018, according to the Environmental Protection Agency."

Imagine if all the speculative profits on AI was instead invested in proper railroad network.
It would actually create jobs, make everyone's lives better AND help fight climate change.
But no, because fast profit is the only thing that matters.

We really need to stop buying into the argument that #ClimateActivists are "radical" or "destructive". The opposite is true: the nature of the protests have been peaceful and, on the whole, pretty tame.
The idea that, say, sitting on a road is "radical", "extreme" and "criminal" came from a bunch of #FossilFuel aligned think tanks, parroted by the media.
Reject them.
The framing needs to be: Fossil fuel companies are radical, extreme, criminal.
