Now this is the kind of trash talk we can get behind.
We’re containerizing neighborhoods by taking trash off our sidewalks and allowing mid-size buildings to trade in their wheelie bins for a bigger, better, cleaner alternative: Empire Bins.
It’s time to put a lid on it, New York.

In Los Angeles I saw a billboard asking me to join the green revolution. It was paid for by a group called CalRecycle. I could think of only one thing: why weren’t they called RecyCAL!? Climate change is real, and we need to use everything at our disposal to fight it, including portmanteaus.

The director of California's recycling agency wrote the state's landmark law to reduce single-use plastics. Then she went to work for plastics and packaging companies working to delay, if not derail, the law — leading to an ethics complaint: www.latimes.com/environment/... via @susrust.bsky.social
