Mocking environmentalism is nice until you can’t drink the water from your tap because it has too much PFAS and microplastics in it. But go ahead, it’s funny, I guess.
plastic recycling is a way of producers to shift blame onto consumers and has been shown to not affect new plastic production basically at all, because recycled plastic just makes for worse plastic.
environmentalism is good, but plastic recycling is not going to make the world better.
There’s 2 sides to every coin. Consumers were lied to, yes, but consumers also choose to buy plastic over glass. But that’s not my problem with the comic. My problem is that it’s the posterchild of “nothing I do matters anyway, so might as well not care and pollute”. It also feels very much like a sarcastic excuse to people who tell others to clean up after themselves.

Yes, but it can better than nothing. Shipping it off to a third-world country (which I think the EU finally banned) and then pointing at the country and saying “look, they don’t recycle, it’s not our fault” harms us all of course. Anyway, the comic rubs me the wrong way.
Please note that it’s not a political comic. The series is about Mimi being a Chaotic evil gremlin.
