Hi Sustainable Dave! I heard about you from Kevin and Bean! And all I have to say is whoawhoawhoa. You can RECYCLE plastic food bags and cereal boxes? I've been throwing these away! Where do you take them to get recycled? (I live in southern California.)
Also, with plastic, doesn't only, like, 3% of it actually get recycled?
Also, I'm sure you've heard about the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Please spread the word about it! I'd never heard of it before I did some of my own research a couple weeks ago!
Hey Cradcliff,
Gonna post somehting i just found on the first question you asked so check that out in a few minutes.
I'm not sure if 3% is the exact number but it is true that a shockingly small amount of plastic gets recycled.
As for the Pacific Gyre, the two guys who just sailed across it are friends of mine and there are some links to their story here on the site. Scary stuff that everyone should know about.

Hi Dave,
I live in MA and I was wondering why you didn't put tin foil in the recycling. I always put used tin foil in the recycling, but there must be a reason why you didn't or maybe I am wrong for putting the foil in the recycling. Can you clear that up for me..thanks!
Hey Mufaddal,
I'd have to check the actual daily post but my guess is it was either extremely rippped, or there was something burned onto it. I have recycled other foil in the past. Thanks for watching.
