But they are literally the first two in the mnemonic before recycle. What kind of attention do you mean? What culture are you talking about?

The problem is that the vast majority of recycling is a huge scam. Right now recycling is more symbolic, and just a political talking point. We take the time to separate everything into bins to make everyone feel like they’re doing something, but ultimately it all ends up in the landfill, and only something like 5% is actually recycled. Obviously reducing our consumption, and reusing things are key. But if we actually focused on recycling properly, it would make a difference, we choose ignorance though. >

While I appreciate that, I don’t think reduce and reuse get nearly enough attention as compared to recycle
