But since recycling is a "green expectation" I feel guilty whether or not I take the time to rinse and sort everything anyway.
It's like how colorful bendy straws used to be one of my tiny joys in life but now not using plastic straws is a "green expectation" (ignore all the other single use plastics that go through your household on a daily basis though!) so I don't have them anymore.
All my guilt and energy redirected towards meaningless bullshit while the planet burns.
I am not gonna find a source for this but I read at some point that electricity use for lighting didn’t decrease since the switch to LEDs, we just started using lights 10x as much as before
Yeah, I believe it. Whenever I upgrade my base's lighting in minecraft from Incandescent to LED, I always use the opportunity to light up more of the base while keeping the energy use the same.
Recycling happens. Just on a much, much, smaller scale and with many fewer materials than we are led to believe. With plastics being especially egregious.....
The hilarious irony is that recycling is a scam. They just throw it all into a landfill anyway.

Sucks because we still have "turn off the lights!" greenwashing even though LEDs use like, 10 watts.

Glass and metal get reused but yeah the rest is trash. More personal responsibility bullshit.
