Do you think people are cunts who don't recycle?
    #22006080 - 07/27/15 06:28 PM (8 years, 6 months ago)

I never really even thought about this before, I just assumed that recycling was standard human behavior.  I've just been raised with it since the time I can really remember.  But I was over at a friends house like 8 months ago and she was having a party, there were plastic bottles, glass bottles and cans and shit everywhere.  People were like "Hey where do you want this?"  And she's like "oh just in the trash..."  And I was like "What, you don't recycle?"  And she's like "Nah..."  I didn't even say shit but I think someone else was like Geez you should recycle... This bitch and her boyfriend drink like a 24 pack of plastic bottles of soda a week, plus all the standard shit that everyone uses.

So I was over there again last week and again her entire trash can is literally FILLED with plastic bottles, microwave dinner trays and cans and shit.  So I'm like "You still don't recycle?! What the hell man??"  The other dude there was like "Shit, you don't recycle?  Why not?"  And she's like "I just never got into it.."  What the fuck does that mean?  I'm not "INTO" taking out the trash, but I fucking do it.  I'm not "INTO" paying my bills, but its what I do.  This chick is the most closed minded person I know, so I don't see how I'm even friends with her.  And honestly, because of her closed mindedness, I've been really finding myself having issues with her.  So I can't tell if the issue is her opinion on recycling or if this is just everything I dislike about her coming to a climax right now.

I posted some shit on her facebook today, mostly joking, but kind of just giving her shit and reminding her saying "Hey, did you start recycling yet?? : )"  And some people liked it and she got some comments like "Tsk tsk".  Which is why I did it.  For her to see like, MOST people recycle and it's not just me being weird.  It's a simple thing to do and its beneficial.  But she got all pissed off and offended about it, which I don't give a fuck because society is god damn soft and weak these days.  She thinks I was out of line to call her out but truthfully, I give no fucks.  In my opinion, not recycling is lazy so I'm calling her out.  I don't really care much if it's rude, making someone uncomfortable or feel outcast is one way to get someone to change their ways when bringing it up to them casually doesn't work.

So anyway, now that I've thought about it, I decided that not recycling is just some lazy ass bullshit.  I mean, you're throwing the damn thing away anyway, why not throw it in THIS can, and recycle, rather than throw all your recyclables in the other one and have it sit in a landfill and need to be remade?  It's seriously the simplest thing you can do.  It never really was a big thing to me but talking to her she just doesn't give a fuck, at all.  Just unwilling to do even the BARE minimum to contribute or lessen her impact on the planet.  I find it fucking pathetic.  I mean if you just don't because you never thought of it or don't have a service that comes around, that's one thing.  But to have it brought up to you, a system in place that picks it up from your damn house for FREE and actually try to justify NOT doing it because "you're not into it" and basically because you just don't give a fuck or are too god damn lazy or entitled, that's another matter then!  In my opinion, the planet is not yours.  You don't have a RIGHT to just not give a fuck, and cause unnecessary strain just because you don't care.  Or maybe you do have that right, but if you have that right, then I have the right to give you shit and tell you you're kind of an asshole and that your mentality is a huge part of what's wrong with the world.

I have a tendency to get argumentative and stuff but what do you guys think about this issue?  Do you recycle?  Do you encourage your friends who don't recycle to do it?  Would you lose some respect for a friend who admits they just don't give a shit and aren't willing to recycle their much higher than average amount of plastic bottles and shit every week?  I'm never like the "activist" type, and this wouldn't have been an issue at all if she didn't actually try justifying herself with the most disgusting, lazy and pathetic logic I've ever heard from someone.

I don't recycle



--------------------
With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being
With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline

Also it requires more energy to recycle a can than it does to make it.

In the end you are just wasting valuable energy resources, the answer is sustainable materials that aren't designed to break for the sake of low manufacturing costs.

i Have to say, yes.

I recycle and try to do it as much as possible. Sometimes i get lazy and will throw something away. But 90% i recycle, since it  feels good to know i can recycle something. I hate throwing things away that could be used for something useful.

Its hard to know if people who throw everything away is lazy or just doesnt know how to recycle....

Everyone should recycle, even thou it takes a little extra effort. Way better for the environment and future :thumbup:

Penn and Teller are both bigger cunts than my friend.  Additionally, it is a known fact that recycling is not bullshit so I'm not even going to watch that video.

I'm not coming at anyone for not recycling.  I'm just wondering what the general consensus around here is on it.

Well she knows how to recycle.  It's literally as simple as calling the township and saying "Hey, could I have a recycling bin delivered to xxx Cunt Ave., please?  Thank you."  And then throwing a can into it.  Voila.  It's like she's not doing it just out of principle.  This chick is like the most closed minded, entitled person on the planet too.  I think I'm just sick of her in general and I'm subconsciously using recycling as a reason to tell her to fuck off from me haha.

Nice job linking the first article that vaguely aligns with your argument.

No dice, link something other than a think piece which is also peer-reviewed then we can talk.

People who don't recycle are trashy.


I hate seeing litter,  Look at all the common types of litter left behind all too often, it's mostly junk food/beverage orientated.  This is the problematic consumer base that is too fucking lazy to drop something in the trash, attack them.

It seems likely that that girl is thoughtless. I recycle, but I don't think my reasons for or against recycling are important.

Maybe the earth detects that the sun is about to explode. That is why it spawned humans and it knew the timing that at around now we would start fucking up the earth. But it wants to use us to make computers and space travel and stuff to continue its legacy. This could be seen as a radical scenario related to Lovelock's gaia hypothesis.

Anyhow I don't think anyone can certainly say anything about anything but I still recycle because it seems good.

You can look the study up yourself if you want.  Even the dumbasses in Congresses no longer try to argue whether recycling is the best choice for the environment, it's obvious.  Look the study up yourself, I'm not here to post references that meet your criteria for evidence that states the obvious.


"Across the board, the key factor is the energy intensity of extracting virgin materials, which is an order of magnitude higher than that of recovering the same material through recycling. "Even if you doubled the emissions from collecting recyclables, it wouldn't come close," Morris says. Overall, he found, it takes 10.4 million Btu to manufacture products from a ton of recyclables, compared to 23.3 million Btu for virgin materials. And all of the collecting, hauling and processing of those recyclables adds just 0.9 million Btu."

And that's just the energy impact.  That doesn't even take into account the actual impact of acquiring those materials, nor the environmental impact of taking up habitat to devote to landfills, or the pollution that results from the landfills, etc etc.

What study? There is no specific study that was referenced just vague factoids pulled from unaccounted for sources.

The answer is better materials and the dissapation of consumerist culture.
