The myth of plastic recycling is a model of social engineering.

Plastic manufacturers convinced most of society that it was the consumer who needed to be responsible for the toxic waste they made billions selling.

If you just wash and sort your items, and put them in the correct colored bin, you can save the planet!

Meanwhile - it makes virtually no difference, and the vast majority couldn't be recycled even if you wanted to. 94% goes into the ocean/landfill.

Good luck convincing your wife though. Or anyone. The performance art of doing things like taking the lids off makes them feel like they're doing something.
