About this listen

If you want to learn how to recycle, eliminate disposables, reduce waste and pollution, conserve resources, save energy, and protect the environment, then check out HowExpert Guide to Recycling.

Have you ever been gaslighted? You know, grossly misled to believe something for the benefit of someone else? Unfortunately, we’ve all been victims of this for decades by big corporations, especially the oil industry.

They have spent billions to convince us that climate change is our fault. That if we dispose of our trash the right way and lower our carbon footprint, we wouldn’t have the environmental problems we are now facing. Nothing could be further from the truth.

This guide will show how we’ve been misled to believe this narrative in order to protect corporate profits and how changing our disposable habits, and fighting misinformation is the best thing we can do to beat climate change.

Corporations have lied to keep us buying their products and distracted from the fact that waste and emissions are caused by how they do business.

Single-use plastics are a big money-maker for the fossil fuel industry.

They created the triangle symbol to make us think plastics will recycle, even though that can’t easily be done.

Manufacturers choose not to invest in recycled packaging and materials.

Virgin materials mined from Earth are cheaper and often subsidized.

Technology exists to eliminate most of the greenhouse gas emissions they cause.

It’s time to fight for the truth and take matters into our own hands. What we buy and how it’s made affects how well “reduce, reuse, and recycle” works. Using the power of our voices and wallets, we can make corporations change how they do business.

They answer to us, the people who buy their products and invest in their stock.

We can insist they take responsibility for the damage they cause.

We have the power to fight climate change at home and in our cities.

I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to leave the health and well-being of my family in the hands of people who I hope will figure this mess out.

We all need to change for the better of our planet and our lives.

There are alternatives to buying disposable goods and packaging.

Buy durable goods and reusable packaging to save money and the planet.

Reduce and reuse packaging. First, eliminate plastic shopping bags.

We can do things differently to change our eating and buying habits.

A lot of trash comes with convenience dining, like packaged and fast foods.

Buying used products reduces wasted energy, materials, and water.

It’s time we use our buying power and our votes to change for the better.

Waste of anything - food, energy, goods - needs to be eliminated.

Elect representatives who put people before corporations.

Your voice can create change.

Check out HowExpert Guide to Recycling to learn how to recycle, eliminate disposables, reduce waste and pollution, conserve resources, save energy, and protect the environment.
