If you have heard about the Plastic Continent -- the floating island of plastic twice the size of Texas in the Pacific Ocean -- then you understand how crucial it is to recycle plastic. Right now, only 5% of plastics worldwide are recycled. Some of this is ignorance: most of the world still simply doesn't understand the danger plastics pose to our environment and our food chain.

It's scary isn't it. I recently saw some documentary and plastic fragments were found pretty much eveywhere in the oceans(plural !) down to some insane depth like 2km.It was found in crustacae, well in the food chain.
How can consumerism be stopped ?

You should a look at ultimate-guitar once in a while.
Adbots frequent those forums and they're constantly "treated as friends".

They seem to have just started somewhat recently over here, at least from what I can tell.

At least we're not gonna run out if there's a plastic island the size of Texas out there :lol:

Apparently this is mostly true despite the fact its a spam. Kind of scary..

The plastic is difficult to be broken down, so we should be good for recycling plastic, to protect our environment!
-
But on the plus side: When the sea levels rise, we can all move on to it on hope it floats us somewhere hot.
-
Indeed. And if the trees ever run out we'll have loads of stuff we can turn into cups to drink cheap cups of coffee out of.

Right, I'm off to put a flag on it and claim it as my own independant state. I'm going to have my own money with a picture of my
face arse on it and everything.

I think more people need to be made aware of the different ways we can recycle plastic, and the government need to be more proactive about it because of the large volumes of waste each year.
I looked into other methods for recycling plastic and found a great blog on how PVC-U plastic for window and door frames can be recycled 100% over and over again. http://www.eurocell.co.uk/9/news/post/1183/eco-plastic-why-you-shouldnt-be-afraid-to-use-pvc-u
The recycled PVC-U also looks completely new. More people need to be made aware so they can opt for business that utilize this when buying or getting rid of door/window frames.

For some reason reminded me of

I believe recycled plastic is the one of the best solution by reducing the amount of plastic currently .Replas gives new life to the waste plastics in using a number of products including, plastic furniture, plastic tree guards, plastic signs,beach access (http://www.replas.com.au/), wheel stops and so on.

I think we should combat these particular bots but dumping plastic in a river somewhere. Or by burning a tyre in our garden.
My council doesn't even seem to want to collect my plastic recycling. I put the bin out on the correct day but the bin men are too lazy to come down the end of my road. I've rang the council several times to complain but nothing happens so I end up digging it out of my recycling bin and dumping it in the communal mixed trash.
We pay £300 a month council tax for that quality service.
