Greenwashing the plastic?
The major supermarkets in Australia are about to re-introduce a soft plastics recycling trial.
Have a read of this article linked below from the Australia Institute.
Instead of re-cycling plastics it is up to us to re-fuse to use them in the first place.
Article: Soft plastic recycling is back in supermarkets!
And if you want to dig deeper: Bioplastics contain substances that are as toxic as those in ordinary plastics.

Well, this is very interesting, op-ed in #NYTimes and interview with Amy Goodman on Democracy Now. Looks like Bukele is a wannabe criminal amassing governmental resources and powers to audition for membership in the crime organizations of El Salvador, and beyond. Nelson Rauda Zablah, editor for El Faro, San Salvador, illuminates his negotiations with MS-13 through US courts and an interview with a leader from Barrio 18, rival to MS-13.

in reply to Teejay • • •The image shows a three-story building with a gray facade and white trim, prominently labeled "MEMORIAL Demaine's CHAPEL" on the front. The building features a symmetrical design with evenly spaced windows on each floor and a central entrance flanked by white columns. The roofline is adorned with decorative molding, and the building is situated at an intersection, as indicated by the traffic lights and street signs. The street signs include a green street name sign reading "Garrison St." and a no left turn sign. A pedestrian crossing is visible in the foreground, with a red pedestrian signal light. The sky is overcast, and the overall color palette is muted, with the gray of the building contrasting against the white trim and the darker tones of the street and vehicles.
