I couldn't watch more than a few minutes of this neckbeard mouth-breather, but he's right that recycling is a scam. It actually consumes far more energy to go through the farce of recycling than to make new plastics from scratch, and it is harder on the environment. It's a farce because most recycled plastic is never recycled. If we just burned all the waste plastics, that would be the end of the problem. The planet would get more nourishing carbon dioxide, which it needs to be healthy, and the plastics wouldn't end up in the breathing holes of dolphins.
