      It’s more expensive today than it was before, and you have to kneel like a slave and recycle or be taxed to death, but you’re thankful because they taught us in school that we’re saving the environment.
      You should also research about what happens to the plastic you “recycle”, and what % of it actually ends up being reusable. It’s all bullshit, it’s all cost savings for big business, and you’re working for them for free. The plastic you throw into those pretty machines ends up in a beach somewhere in the Philippines. They sell it all to the third world as garbage/waste.

      @@riyasingh2729 In Germany they have a system, where you pay 0,25€ more for plastic bottles and if you return them to any supermarket, you get that amount back. It encourages people to recycle PET plastic cleanly, because it can be reused in comparison with other plastics. In Austria we do not have that system yet. (It's coming in 2024) . That is also the premise of the whole story, the little symbol and the number on his bottle. Usually people don't bother I think, but if you use 10 bottles on your vacation you get 2, 50 back... I think it becomes a compulsion, really. Not like you can buy a lot for 2.50, maybe a nice loaf of German bread.

      The difference is that in Germany they are charged an additional "fee" for each plastic bottle they buy and when they recycle it back into the machine, they get that money back. In Michigan, you aren't charged extra for the plastic bottle, you just pay the going rate for the product. If you recycle it for money, you are actually getting money back towards your purchase price vs it acting as a sort of deposit to encourage you to recycle and money lost if you do not. It's similar to shopping at Aldi- you put a quarter in the cart to use it and if you return the cart properly, you get your quarter back. If you decide to leave the cart by your car in the parking lot, you lose your quarter lol!

    I would love to have that automatic service at my city. Here you usually need to go to a specific place to recycle the bottle and well you need to save more than 1 bottle since they count it using the weight, not the amount of bottle.
    You also gotta interact with the owner & staffs which I honestly try to avoid. Having those kind of recycling machine would make a very nice experience.
