Trash stats on recycling finally got to me
I always thought recycling was basically a done deal, but I read that only about 9% of plastic actually gets recycled globally. That stat from National Geographic last month hit me hard, and now I'm just trying to cut down on single-use stuff instead. Anyone else rethink their habits after seeing hard numbers like that?

Man, that 9% number really hits different when you realize how many plastic bottles you've tossed in the blue bin over the years thinking you were doing good. I swear my recycling bin is basically a feel-good museum for my guilt at this point. Got me eyeballing my own trash habits and feeling like a clown for not looking this up sooner. How does a guy even start unwinding years of lazy convenience without going full hermit mode?
