"Every Bottle Back" is Classic Greenwashing. About 8.7% of the Plastic Bottles in the USA are Actually Recycled... But That's Not the Fault of the Corporations That Make the Plastic Bottles... SO THEY SAY:

They Have an EveryBottleBack.com Program Set Up to Handle Recycling of Plastic Waste... and If YOU Throw Their Bottles in the Garbage, That's NOT THEIR Fault... 

EveryBottleBack.com GREENWASHING Advertisement meme

The Environmental Protection Agency says that just 8.7 percent of the plastic that was discarded in the U.S. in 2018 was recycled...

and I Don't Buy ANY Plastic Bottles because I Drink Coffee, Green Tea and Water Right from the Tap. I use Real Glasses and Cups and Wash Them and Use Them Again Tomorrow... None of that Single Use Plastic Crap for Me!

and then I was thinking about my total plastic consumption... The Fruit Juice comes in Big Plastic Jugs... maybe Two Liter Bottles... Pork Chops and Chicken is Packaged on a Styrofoam Tray covered in Plastic Wrap... Ice Cream Comes in a Plastic Tub... My Groceries are Packaged in Whatever CostCo Uses... 

Plastic Food Packaging - Fruits and Nuts
Plastic Food Packaging - Fruits and Nuts

I don't use Plastic Spoons and Forks... I don't eat Fast Food at Taco Bell, Jack or McDonalds... All of those Places are Heavy on the Plastic Crap!

My Laptop is Made of Plastic... My Phone is Made of Plastic... and I Replace them About Every Five Years... But the Corporations That Make That Plastic Crap Wants You to "Upgrade" Every Freaking Year! Whazzup With That? I can Still Order a LYFT with my Current Phone... and I Can Make a Phone Call... and That's all I Ever Do... No Chatting on Social Media on my Phone because it's Really Difficult to Enter Text... I Type a LOT on my Laptop and The REAL Keyboard is Easy to Use... In Fact, When I'm Lost in thought Deciding what to Say... I forget about the keyboard entirely... THAT would never Happen on an iPhone!

anyway... When I see that Every Bottle Back TV Advertisement I'm Glad I Don't Buy Their Plastic Crap! 

I know a Lady that lives near Beale Air Force Base and She has to Buy Plastic Bottles of Water because the Tap Water is Polluted With Jet Fuel from the Airplanes... Some Fuel Spills and Then Gets into the Groundwater... SO... For Health, She Drinks Plastic Bottled Water... What She Fails to Realize is that SHOWERING in Toxic Waste is Just as Bad as Drinking it... I told her to Move away but she's poor and Moving to a High Rent district is not possible... DEEP SIGH... 

What is truly Tragic is that Beale Air Force Base Has Never Been Used to Defend the USA... Not Even Once... Even During World War Two the Only Attacks on the USA Were Pearl Harbor and the Battle of Los Angeles where a UFO Supposedly Attacked... Or Maybe Nothing Attacked and the Soldiers manning the Anti-Aircraft Guns were Firing at NOTHING... Could Happen... Sadly, that Air Force Base Near Sacramento, California Has Never Been Used...

and Of Course... Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended the USA. NOT EVEN ONCE!

Boycott Plastic Garbage! Chicken of the Sea Tuna is Marketing "Infusions" with a Plastic Bowl, Lid and Fork. Trash that will pollute the Earth for 10,000 Years. REFUSE TO BUY PLASTIC CRAP.

CORPORATE LIES: "Sustainability:
At Chicken of the Sea, we pride ourselves on our long-standing commitment to operating a socially and environmentally responsible business. We realize that our sustainability obligations don't end when the seafood is caught, but extend all the way through the processing, packaging, and delivery of sustainable seafood to our customers."

Fact: We Have Eaten Tuna Packages in Metal Cans for Decades... and That Metal Can Be Recycled... Melted and Used Again. This new Marketing Strategy Will Create Millions of Plastic Bowls... and WHY? 

A whopping 91% of plastic isn't recycled

Billions of tons of plastic have been made over the past decades, and much of it is becoming trash and litter, finds the first analysis of the issue.

Small tuna cans are made out of aluminum, and also recycle easily. The actual composition of the metal varies from manufacturer to manufacturer. Before you collect tuna cans to take to the recycling center, place a small magnet on the can. If the magnet sticks, it is not aluminum but steel. If the can is steel, it should be placed into your steel can recycling bin if available.
https://sciencing.com/list-recyclable-aluminum-cans-8441456.html

The U.S. recycling rate for aluminum cans declined to 49.4 percent in 2016, its lowest level in years. The consumer recycling rate for aluminum cans was down from 54.5 percent a year earlier.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960. I lived there until graduation from Los Gatos High School in 1972... an Ideal Childhood... FYI: Los Gatos is about 50 miles South of San Francisco on the edge of the mountains between San Jose and Santa Cruz.

I Went to West Valley Jr. College, learned electronics drafting and got a job at System Industries in Santa Clara... I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs.


During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was...
