Please take a moment to think of everything in your life that is made of plastic, and then think of what could replace it.

Glass and Aluminum are the ultimate recyclables and yet we are still are based around them It's all about the profits for Corporations and the consumers that buy this trash.

Buy bar soap instead of body wash, etc.

No they aren't. They typically don't even get recycled unless they're both clean and dry which most people don't do.

That's mostly true in America, where recycling usually is (like everything else) a for profit initiative.
