        maybe instead of drilling for further petroleum, we should work harder on recycling plastics into fiber, fuel, feedstocks...

        That's what incinerators are for. People have to be more responsible. Heavy fines on littering. Proper recycling plants need to be built!

        "Pre-portioned" @get_chefd meals means lots of uncesssary packaging, #1 on the list. And ZIP on their website about recycling. Zip!

        With all due respect, it's buried under "FAQs" + "General Questions." You have to "see all" before it pops up. It's the last of the last.
