it seems that personal recycling is a much better option, because then you can buy according to the material that is of most re-use for YOU and then YOU do the repair, recycle, reuse process, rather than distribution centers, where who knows what they do with it really ive been traveling for the past year or so and havent been able to store much, but i look forward to the day that i have a place to store and craft with all my own used materials ♡ this is think would be much more affective for communities: local craft shops storing recycled material for free use, a lot of places already do this with their cardboard, and will give it to anyone who asks for it
