> How? But recycling is easy! Just put the right thing in the right bin! You have totally been sidestepping the part where I talk about this small inconvenience in relation to the existing complexity of life. I take it that you don't have small kids, since the thing is that when you do, you in general want to simplify whatever you can. If one product takes 30 seconds to check and find a replacement (might not always exist!), that's a good 20 minutes on a proper family shopping run. I also don't have a super brain that will automatically remember the manufacturer for some 50 products, so I'd absolutely be stuck with checking each time. Granted, once it becomes a routine to avoid certain products, it would be rather easy. But to get there would take time and effort that I'd rather spend elsewhere. |

Maybe if you live in very specific locations like Taiwan. Then yes you shall put right things in right bins, rinse your recycling first, etc. Not because it's easy or quick, it isn't, but because you will be financially penalized if you don't. In many other places recycling does nothing besides make you feel good and get off the case of the manufacturers who save money on plastic packaging and shift the blame around
> that's a good 20 minutes
Only once and only if you don't already skim the labels, which I bet you do if you try to avoid animal stuff in your diet occasionally. The small print ingredients take much longer to parse than an obvious Nestle logo.
I don't have a problem with not caring at all as much as saying that you care but it's too difficult, because in this case it really isnt.
