sort rubbish
The revelation that some unfortunate souls in Britain are forced to sort their weekly rubbish into nine different bins has led to demands that recycling be made easier. The Taxpayers’ Alliance found that Geordies have nine bins, Welsh folk have five, people in England have an average of four, while in Northern Ireland – lucky bleeders – they have only three. Across the UK, families who surely have better things to worry about than where their trash ends up now spend ages separating their egg boxes from their bottle tops, like those crazy bag-people who fish through public bins to see what’s useable and what isn’t.
The Taxpayers’ Alliance says this authoritarian imposition of rubbish-sorting mania “is not a good way of encouraging recycling”. Greens agree, arguing that recycling must be made easier in order that more people will take it seriously and do it dutifully. They’re all missing the point. The whole idea behind recycling is that it must be a drag, a pain, a headache-inducing and physically annoying task that makes people realise how truly disgusting they are as they peel off a sweaty banana skin that has attached itself to a four-litre bottle of orangeade. Because individual recycling is not a practical task designed to improve Mother Nature’s health – it is a ritual designed to make people aware of their grottiness and wastefulness.
