But still, it's not as green as wind or geothermal

...

Sapharant afaik cells are recyclable but not business cost worth it

Which means they're landfilled, not put in a seperate warehouse until it's economically viable

problem being recycling needing to be "economicaly viable"

instead for the good

Economics are kind of a good way of saying its not environmentally viable with current methods tbh

baffles me how many people lack the decency to carry their plastic bottles/bags to the nearest bin and instead throw them on the ground

I dont get it either, youre walking past it anyway, why are you just dropping it instead of holding onto 10 grams for 20 more feet?

and you get 15-40 cents back

its nice deal

huh?

you get a deposit on plastic bags?

(we get 15-40cents per bottle back when you recycle em to johnfrums)

and i think almost all our plastic bottles are recycable so poor people keep them at least from streets as they collect em

our government is now putting a deposit on plastic bottles like we already do with glass bottles

it's pretty based

Damn that is a lot of money comparative to here

Like max is 10 with glass bottles topping out at 20ish

i think its currently 15 from glass, 20 from small plastics bottles and 40 from large bottles

hell as kiddo i made couple hundred euros out of bottles as there was huge festival once a year in my hometown

and after it the place was flooded with beerbottles and what not

then there startted to be stupid adult "baseball clubs" etc who had "official deal with the place to collect em" to keep kids out and money for themselves

for glass bottles I know a couple of the breweries here will take your empty bottles and give you a discount on their beers in exchange

sure local lawyer but stop ot that shit in few years

but it was quite bullshit while it lasted

sounds like a pretty good job tbh assuming you collect 50ish bottles (as a kid ofc)

as kid it was usualy 100ish euros per haul (large black carbage bags full of heavy glass bottles and large plastic ones)

you could tolerably DRAG 2 bags and 3 if you macho-manned it out

some smarter kids (like me) made deal with local supermarket that 2 full large bags was 100 euros if filled to prim

nobody counted em it was honor-deal

they took the negatives what ever there was left if any

(most of time i think they won on the deal)

usualy you managed to get 1 to 2 hauls in day if lucky and fast

so 3 day event + afterparty beach event

you could make decent dosh

main reason why "adults" got interested from gathering the trash

I mean, as long as it keeps the streets clean.

(given 2 hauls a day needed REALLY good weather during whole event)
