Friendly reminder that Reduce, Reuse, Recycle is in order of priority.

We should require deposit-based packaging (like beer bottles) for most consumable goods.

I agree. We also need regulation that makes manufacturers responsible for the end costs of their packaging and products. This kind of thinking is starting to come around, as municipalities and taxpayers have finally started waking up to the fact that it's ultimately our dollars that are paying for the corporations to create as much waste as they want. We're the ones that have to pay for the garbage pickups and the landfills where it all ends up.

This. 90% of modern waste comes from excesses. Everything from kitchen waste to disposables and clothes. We build cheap crap and throw them out after one use all the time, rather than getting quality and enjoying their use for years.

There's a reason why fast fashion is considered one of the greatest sources of waste in the world.
