Proposal: We measure how good we are at being citizens of Earth by how we deal with our "rubbish". Do we consider it a valuable resource to be reused (mature approach, based on understanding planetary cycles), or do we just push it off to Away (childish denial). Current score: Could Do Better...
@helenczerski Does it work? Then I would be one of the best citizens because I nearly have no more normal waste (2023: 9 kg). But I live in France with new waste laws https://www.ellenmacarthurfoundation.org/circular-examples/frances-anti-waste-and-circular-economy-law in a region where we have enormous recycling possibilities. What I'm doing badly is in another area.
And what do people do who live elsewhere without our waste minimisation and recycling options?
