It's jarring to read this when earlier you believed carbon offsets represent actual sequestration, and I pointed out that wasn't the case.

Are you aware of how plastic recycling was a scam? or do you believe that is a "largely inaccurate statement" too?

If anything, it tells you they've found a very effective way to spend money on PR. Historically that hasn't frequently been a good sign for the planet.

There were viable plastic recycling technologies already being scaled up too.
