@SaabiraC Thank you for writing something informative, rather than the typical, cynical exposé so common among similar “reality check” stories.

How wonderful is this?? Public transit credits given for bottle deposits! #UnLitter #RecycleRight What do you say @wmata? @DDOTDC https://t.co/TlVLXnNmlV

[Russell Klein 🇺🇦 @WasteWhys]

Wow! So impressed and excited to say "I knew that guy back when..." Way to go! Fantastic news, @growacity / Mark Chambers!!!! "320,000 High Schoolers to Get Free Water Bottles. The Goal? 54 Million Fewer Single-Use Drinks" https://t.co/rZWNVrp1ra

A hard-charging point of view. Kudos to @BoyanSlat and company, but we may never get ahead of this. Individual action, corporate incentives and public awareness matter. #PacificGarbage #GlobalGarbage #SaveOurOceans

Where to start... RePurpose Depot is slowly attracting mass attention, here in Houston. Having opened to the public from a warehouse in the East End of Houston some six months ago, we do both home deconstruction (salvage) and retail sales available to the…https://t.co/vnr74yRhbt

@AdamMinter Mea Culpa for not staying on top of your recent essays. I would ask: how far should tech excuse bad consumerism, were it able to achieve sophisticated sorting ...at a dirty MRF? (Or any MRF?) Does a "practical approach" to waste mgt write off education as a meaningful exercise?

[Russell Klein 🇺🇦 @WasteWhys]

I suppose this surprises no one. I'm still a "quality over quantity guy." Always thought "All-In-One" was garbage and never thrilled about "Single Stream." People act out of self-interest; figure out what that is and collaborate! #HeSoEsoteric https://t.co/JNvCwOxvBb @AdamMinter

[Russell Klein 🇺🇦 @WasteWhys]

Are plastic straw bans a distraction from meaningful clean-up opptys? @AdamMinter argues that there is good evidence "...at least 46% of the plastic in the [Pacific] garbage patch by weight comes from [abandoned] fishing nets." How to get the global public mobilized over THAT? https://t.co/g3iL9la8rn

@WHands80 Guess we've gotta vote with our feet on this one! (see pic)
Oh yeah, and #VoteWithYourVote

[Russell Klein 🇺🇦 @WasteWhys]

Let's be clear. This is pure #ConvenienceCulture These aren't recyclable (if so, where, under what circumstances, and will you pay the premiums required to collect/process them for a future market?). They are a step backwards, DC. #DontGreenWashMeBro

.@Coladashop These pouches don't belong in your bin and won't do much good at the grocery store. ~~ Is any patron going to take it home dripping and sugary from the bar, wash it out and bring it back to a grocery store? #Recycling101 with #DarthDubious https://t.co/c10uGrqIrY

.@NatGeoMag is all in, in addressing the global plastic debris crisis. Word is, they are going to be beating this drum throughout 2019. See their amazing photo documentation here: https://t.co/kv3EkLDxfG #plasticpollution #plasticfreefriday #waterbornedebris
