#64 Recycling
February 14, 2008 by clander
Recycling is a part of a larger theme of stuff white people like: saving the earth without having to do that much.
Recycling is fantastic! You can still buy all the stuff you like (bottled water, beer, wine, organic iced tea, and cans of all varieties) and then when you’re done you just put it in a DIFFERENT bin than where you would throw your other garbage. And boom! Environment saved! Everyone feels great, it’s so easy!
This is important because all white feel guilty about producing waste. It doesn’t stop them from doing it, but they feel guilty about it. Deep down, they believe they should be like the Native Americans and use every part of the product or beast they have consumed. Though for many white people, this simply means putting plastic bags into a special drawer where they will accumulate until they are eventually used to carry some gym clothes or bathing suit. Ultimately this drawer will get full and only be emptied when the person moves to a new house. Advanced white recyclers will uses these grocery bags as garbage bags.
If you are in a situation where a white person produces an empty bottle, watch their actions. They will first say “where’s the recycling?” If you say “we don’t recycle,” prepare for some awkwardness. They will make a move to throw the bottle away, they will hesitate, and then ultimately throw the bottle away. But after they return look in their eyes. All they can see is the bottle lasting forever in a landfill, trapping small animals. It will eat at them for days, at this point you should say “I’m just kidding, the recycling is under the sink. Can you fish out that bottle?” And they will do it 100% of the time!
The best advice is that if you plan to deal with white people on regular basis either start recycling or purchase a large blue bin so that they can believe they are recycling.

I am white.
Recently the Garbage collector gave every house in my neighborhood (mostly hispanic neighborhood.) a garbage can and a recycling can. Most the neighborhood has started using the recycling can, but my family and some white neighbors across the street, do not.
You should recycle you lazy mofo! It’s not that hard & it does actually help to reduce the amount going to the landfills.

I’m half-white, and I’m big on recycling. It’s not as ridiculous as you make it out to be: actually, it cuts down the amount of raw materials, energy and water needed to produce something new by about 80% when compared with making something from scratch.
I love black people, and if you dont like it ill have BUBBA rape all of you hahahhahahaaaaaaaa

we, as white people, need to worry more about preserving our race and not our garbage. our race is slowly growing smaller and recycling isn’t doing anything about the real problem
