This week, Coca-Cola, one of the world’s biggest plastic polluters, teamed up with TV’s favorite scientist for a campaign to create a “world without waste,” a joke of a corporate greenwashing campaign.
In a video innocuously titled “The Coca-Cola Company and Bill Nye Demystify Recycling,” an animated version of Nye—with a head made out of a plastic bottle and his signature bow tie fashioned from a Coke label—walks viewers through the ways “the good people at the Coca-Cola company are dedicating themselves to addressing our global plastic waste problem.”

Where I live we have zero recycling infrastructure. Nilch. Nada. The city picks up trash and that's it. If I wanted to recycle I would have to drive a hundred miles to some facility.
If you're in the US, that's the case across most of the country. After China stopped buying our recycled crap, many programs here either stopped collecting altogether, or they kept up the façade by picking it up and then just dumping it in a landfill.
nil + zilch = nilch
nothing will ever be the same
