It's not just Puerto Rico. They are just the canary in the coal mine warning of what is going on everywhere.

It really comes down to the fact that the environmental movement has been destroyed by both the faction that has used it to promote their Marxist dreams along with the corporate leaches that have made it a scam by just promoting lip service over actually addressing the problems.

99.5% of all recycling is a scam. Yes, that is a totally made up statistic but I believe it is most likely accurate -- if not conservative. Just about every product that you buy is ridiculously over packaged. Everything is designed for single use.

One of the biggest sources of the waste is companies making things intentionally non-interchangeable to create vendor lock-in. They also want to make everything non-serviceable so things have to be replaced rather than repaired.
