the world needs to recycle more

It truly does, about half the trash the an average human throws out can be recycled or reused in some way shape or form

I agree, we don't think about our environment but instead, we think about what we want no matter what the harm is. For example, the harm of buying technology, technology distracts you from real life, but in an article, I read that it makes it harder to read emotions in real life. In this generation, everyone is on their phone or computer etc. We want what everyone else has that we look past the harm that it can do for the environment.
