Subject: [POP QUIZ] Can you sort recycling fact from fiction? | | | | | | |
| | | ![Greenpeace volunteers head from Sydney's Botany Bay up the Cooks River to pick up rubbish; Worker separates waste in Bogota, Colombia; Delivery of Second Hand Textiles from Kantamanto market to the Return to Sender Container | Can you sort recycling fact from fiction? [TAKE THE QUIZ →]](https://als-totem.s3.amazonaws.com/emailimages/35166/GREEN-721-edit1.png) | | Kathleen, | | Thanks to the toxicity, the nonstop production, and their inevitable end in places they shouldn't be (like our oceans, our air, and our own bodies!), corporate polluters have left our planet in a full-blown plastics crisis. | | But since these greedy greenwashers falsely promote recycling as a solution, even some of the most committed climate champions are unaware of the ugly truth. | | But what about you, Kathleen? | | Can you sort out the rubbish from the realities of recycling? We hope you've been paying attention, but we'll find out soon enough: click here to test your knowledge in our new recycling pop quiz! | | | | The best study guide we can give for the questions you'll see is this one simple truth: we can't keep pushing recycling as the end-all, be-all solution to plastics pollution. | | The truth is, most recycling processes leach toxic, volatile chemicals that slowly poison the people working in or living near such facilities — but you'll never hear about that if you only ask the companies at the heart of the issue, like PepsiCo, Unilever, and Coca-Cola. | | With potentially catastrophic consequences for our earth's ability to withstand the climate crisis, it's vital that we expose their greenwashed lies about recycling and spread the word on the severity of the problem — before we reach the edge of no return. | | Take the recycling pop quiz today and see if you know the real solutions that can stop recycled and virgin plastics alike from destroying our precious planet. | | | | Thanks for fighting alongside us,
Greenpeace USA | | | | | | |
