You'd think legislators would say "Until completely-proven-plastics-recycling is in place, it's working with 100% of synthetic waste, and all produced materials have bio-harmful chemicals like phthalates(a fertility /hormone-disruptor) removed from the equation, plastics are banned"

Sure, the chemical contamination from plastics don't show signs of DNA-damage as fast as a biological viruses invade and threaten the life of a host, but the outcome of chemical threats in our disposables(non-biologically compatible), though slow-acting, can be more detrimental to humanity's long term survival than pandemics, It's called reckless science experiments exploited for "sustainable profits" but cause unsustainable biology...

But it seems democracy either doesn't work or it's leaving too much room for financial greed over biological-security and social equality. 

Obviously the plastic pollution issue is not the consumer's fault, nor should it have to be their responsibility, However, Until we can get ahold of our legislative system to get it to use the B.S.E. in the correct order and put down the plastic industry, your dollar is a serious voting tool for our collective bio-vitality... 

Are you starting your eco-friendly journey yet? Or still learning to become more ecologically sustainable/"Zero-(plastic)-Waste"/"low-plastic-waste" as a consumer? YES? if NO, keep reading/watching below

Let's explore how recycling is only bio-compatible for the planet if plastic-manufacturing and landfill/regular trash cans are banned and/or excluded from your business/legislative policy AND excluded from your consumer purchases as an individual standard.

Let's be honest, Nature doesn't have a trash can nor a land fill system. So was that just a mighty error made by humans? Actually it was a For-Profit tactic invented by industries who got good at convincing people they need disposable products so the industries could have recurring, even dependent customers. These industries are brilliant con-artists that have tricked the public, law-makers, and even environmentalists sense the 1980's

Wait a minute, So then if there shouldn't be trash cans, what are we supposed to do with our waste?

Well technically(though it's not sustainably in practice), nearly everything we touch can be collected and recycled, even items not compatible with the city's street-can recycle systems, Including non-recyclable items through national first-of-their-kind recycling platforms, Check out Terracycle.com to find out how to recycle various items that aren't allowed in your city's recycling bins.

However, the good news is composting(Nature's Recycling) is super efficent and biologically-compatible, complex, but it's certainly not a lie like "plastic-recycling" is. Recycling to the consumer means something simple, material that can be used over and over again without causing harm to the ecosystems, or at least that's how honest recycling would work. So what's the Lie about industrial recycling? Plastic isn't reusable/recyclable in practice and that's not even the problem, the problem is the unnatural bio-harmful chemicals and gasses that leach off of plastics, especially in the heat or in liquids.

Composting & Why Bio-Plastics Are Still Problematic Pollutants

Composting is nature's way of recycling and it's a lot better for the planet than our recycling systems(regarding recycling for synthetics like plastics, it doesn't work how you think!). The only difference is that human recycling uses machines and changes the state of matter to make it reusable material. Composting uses microorganisms to break matter down into usable material.

let's be frank, Recycling isn't the best option to be eco-friendly. As a Zero-Waste/Low-Waste/Sustainable-Consumer standard, to respect earth's and it's inhabitants' health Recycling should be a last resort, (Meaning landfill shouldn't even be an option)
