Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

One time my sister in law sent us a box of random temu crap completely unsolicited. When she asked what my wife thought, my wife told her "I feel sad because for every one person like me who composts and recycles everything, there are thousands of people like you buying this stupid shit"
I was so proud to be married to her in that moment. I am in every moment, but things like that are just awesome

Toying with the idea of setting up plastic pyrolysis to cut down on microplastics and get fuel from trash.
Sorting everything effectively sounds like the most challenging part.
I've heard that at least PVC and LDPE are either hazardous or trickier or both.
It saves me a lot of money on impulse buys and junk food too. There's an old Simpsons episode where Lisa is sweet on this stereotypical hippie boy and he has a line about "pocket mulching". I think about it every time I bring home recyclables in my pocket.
