In our town we have no place to recycle. There has to be many more towns like mine across America. Everything we buy is mostly plastic so how much of this is actually recycled? I sure used to love my glass milk bottles.
I believe all of it is recycled...you must live in a small town
There is a mass of plastic in the pacific ocean that is twice the size of Texas.
with plastic bottles alone, 90% end up in landfills, or the ocean. a measly 10% is recycled nationwide. that's 200 Million Tons of plastic wasted. 18 million barrels of oil that we will never get back. plastic bottles are just an environmental atrocity. look at the links i provided for more statistics.
