        Recycling is literally the least important thing you can do (despite still being important).

        The phrase “refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose, recycle” is listed in order of importance.

          I hate that they added more shit. “Reduce, reuse, recycle” was perfect.

          “refuse” is literally the same thing as “reduce”

          “repurpose” is a subset of “recycle”

          What the fuck is it nowadays with wanting to tack on more useless shit to perfect mnemonics? Especially for a mnemonic whose entire point is to prevent wastefulness.

            “repurpose” is a subset of “recycle”

            Repurpose is reuse, just for a different use than originally intended.

            Your point about reduce, reuse, recycle being enough is absolutely correct and all I ever hear about is the recycle part which is counterproductive when it is used to justify mass consumption and disposable products.

      And driving it around needless. Impressing peers is not natural and imposed by corporations.

      Pretty sure it literally is not murder, since that requires killing another human. I do love animals, but I will never agree to put animals and humans on the same level. I don’t want animals to suffer and die horribly cruel deaths, but other than that I do not care. I do not eat much meat nowadays, but that is because meat is bad for the environment. I care a LOT more about that, then about animals being killed.

        Definitions are perscriptive, not descriptive.

        Animals are moral agents, it is murder. It is unnecesary and cruel to forcefully breed and take lives for the sake of taste.

        They have desires, ability to suffer, ability to love, build social bonds and connections. They don’t deserve to die.

          True but still not murder. You can use words to mean just what you choose them to mean if you please but murder requires a human victim
