If you read up on the history of Reduce, Reuse, Recycle, you'll find our plastics really aren't recyclable (much).

And your home recycling is a feel-good measure.

If you want to make a difference, start with verifying exactly what your city/county/state do with "recyclables", and follow that with looking into the recyclability of different plastics and how much each is produced.

It's eye opening.
