Fake recycling???

I’ve recently learned about the act of “fake recycling” from a beloved friend; a friend who I thought was an earth friendly do-gooder and recycler. Little did I know until she confessed, she was only pretending to recycle so that she wouldn’t have to listen to my words of disapproval. Then, she also confessed that she knew of a co-worker who fake recycled too! Oh dear, how do I maintain our friendship, get her to recycle, and stop the epidemic of fake recycling?

She’d tell me, “Oh just leave that on the counter, I’ll take care of it.” Only to later find out she put whatever it was I was trying to recycle into the trash once I left. Yikes, I should have just taken it with me. So, how do you convincingly persuade someone that being green is good for him or her? And what are the eco-etiquette rules? I was obviously in need of some eco-etiquette pointers myself!

I suggest that you gently remind them and yourself, if need be, that the effort is minimal for what the benefits of recycling can be. Arm yourself with random recycling facts that you can deliver smoothly without offending.

  • Recycling 1 aluminum can saves enough energy to run a TV for 3 hours.
  • It takes around 20 years for a plastic bag to decompose in the landfill, 100 years for an aluminum can and up to 450 years for a plastic bottle.
  • A wine bottle can be melted down and re-formed into another wine bottle with no waste or by-products produced. Recycling one glass bottle saves enough energy to run a light bulb for four hours.
  • A study showed that 1.8 tons of oil are saved for every 1 ton of recycled PET (polyethylene terephthalate) plastic produced.
  • Every ton of paper recycled saves 3,000 liters of water, 3,000 – 4,000 KWh electricity, 2.5 cubic meters of landfill space, and 17 pulpwood trees.
  • Every ton of steel recycled saves 1,433 pounds of coal.


If your recycling facts and know how doesn’t wow them, try helping them get organized for easy recycling by setting up recycling bins for them and volunteering to go with them to the recycling center. You can also introduce your fake recycling friends to curbside pickup, which they may not even realize is an option. Curbside pick up is available in many communities; check your phone book for the local waste department listing to call and find out.

It’s important to remember that we can only try to convince people so many times before they may just stop listening to us. We can’t guilt anyone into recycling. I’ve tried. They have to want to do it themselves; we can only try and help them to understand the benefits.

If you’re a recovering fake recycler yourself, and even if you’re not, please spread the word and help others find their way to the recycling bin and a better planet.

Next step composting!

With an astonishing experience, I can't help talking about Space Spy Recovery services enough. Sometimes in May, an intruder managed to get in my email and my data got compromised alongside my BTC wallet leading to loss of my savings and operational business funds to the tune of $560,000. It was horribly crazy! Amidst my confusion, a staff member mentioned Space Spy Recovery and I immediately contacted them. Happily enough, it took them just a couple of days to be able to get me back into my wallet which I was unable to access and eventually also recovered my lost funds after verification of ownership. I highly advise anyone having such issues to contact them through:

I made my investment with the wrong platform and ended up losing both my capital investment and the profits I had made through my trade with them over the few months we had partnered together, it was such a very pathetic experience for me as I have never found myself in a situation so critical as this. I became depressed for months and almost lost my mind facing all these scenarios alone. at some point, I was having some suicidal thoughts.. but thanks so much to my therapist who helped me to set and maintain my healthy boundaries, it was she Who also advised me to look for a specialist who could help to recover back my funds from the scammers. that one piece of advice from her did well for me as I had gone online in search of help from experts and I got referred to the Recuva Hacker Solutions and their services. I reached out to their contact detail that were provided by individuals testifying about their good work email ( recuvahackersolution [email protected]) and filed a complaint, I was well responded to and we had a deep conversation on how I lost my money to the fake investment platform, everything seems so unbelievable while they assured me of getting everything I have lost, I was asked questions on my mode of payment and evidence that shows a transaction occurred between both parties and if any agreement was breached or stated, after all these, just within the next 48hours or thereabouts I got all my lost investment together with my profits back in my wallet, these guys are amazing. you can get them also on WhatsApp: +1 (315) 756 1228 if you need their help.
