This is the end: I really cannot be bothered to sort my trash

Jim Gaffigan has a bit about recycling…a couple choice jokes:

“The other day my wife told me,
‘Rinse out that can before you put it in the recycling!’
.

I haven’t showered in three days! How about I clean myself up before I start washing the garbage!

And,

"So we decided to start recycling newspapers…

[imitates someone else]yeah, you gotta bundle them up with twine.

Twine? Where do I get twine?!

[imitating]You gotta go to your hardware store.

Yeah, I’m just going to not read newspapers…seems easier than finding twine!"

I have two bins at home, one for trash and one for recyclables (metal/cardboard/some plastic). I may add a little bucket for compost at some point.

But multiple bins in restaurants worry me, especially when they’re strangely labeled or have to have instructions on the wall above them. I’m not going to bother with figuring out if my wax paper donut wrapper and may napkin have to go in different bins. Nope, not worth it. I already take public transit (when it really is a pain in the neck in my part of the world), the piece of wax paper is minor in comparison.

Also, what is with the obsession of making one little eco-friendly change and then calling the whole thing ‘green’? I’ve heard so many people brag that their new McMansion has eco-friendly bamboo flooring - like that’s anything in comparison to the bulldozers they used to relocate an entire hill so they’d have just the right view! Or people who pay extra to patronize the store that uses 100% recycled coffee cups, but drive an SUV for their every day errands. I don’t get it.
