Also check out this short documentary from The Atlantic called “Recycling Is Like a Band-Aid on Gangrene“. Dr. Max Liboiron, founder of the Civic Laboratory for Environmental Action Research (CLEAR), critiques the inefficacy of recycling in addressing plastic pollution. The film explores her anti-colonial, feminist approach to science, revealing that consumer behaviors like recycling barely dent the larger problem. Liboiron argues that significant changes will only come from reducing plastic production and reshaping scientific methodologies.
