Energy? How? How much? Any "waste" or "byproducts" with that? Like smoke, soot, toxic run-off, etc containing microplastics? Inquiring minds want to know!

I agree. I use the produce bags as a first choice. As a second option, I cut the grocery size bags in half vertically, giving me 2 poop bags for the price of none. Not good for leash walks, but work great for picking up in your own yard.

Ah yes, the infamous unintended consequences of "great ideas".

Less pollution is always preferrable to more. I am certain that smart humans or AI will devise a better alternative at some point. Until then, we're still going to need plastics even if they're less than ideal.

they incinerate the trash, with a closed system. So the exhaust from the burning process is now energy, which fuels the system, allowing them to burn more trash. There's zero exhaust in the air, zero pollution, zero water pollution, zero runoff, zero smoke. It's all incinerated. There are two different types of ash that result from the process, and each are handled slightly differently. You can read about it here: What Happens To Waste To Energy Incineration Ash? | This Is Eco Pretty interesting stuff. |

Except in TV where it is incinerated for energy recovery, so it also lowers our hydro costs and the toxic gases are captured by the modern plant. I know the “never break down” theory but that happens only if you throw plastic in landfill etc.

Abundance of Love meets at several of the rec centers. Everglades on the first and third Monday. Plastic grocery bags are recycled into mats for the homeless. Please look at their website for all they do for charitable organizations.

If your top concern is climate change & reducing fossil use → Recycling is the better path (but only when done properly and domestically). Neither is perfect — they solve different parts of the problem. The true long-term solution is plastic reduction at the source (less production, better materials, reuse systems). |
