#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.

LOL!!!!!! Every one of these entries are so true

if “Advanced white recyclers” use plastic bags as trash bags then the true elites don’t have any at all, as they bring the $10 bags from home to put their organic dog food in.
Oh my god…too much reality based humor to be true in this one! White ppl *do* have a recyling fetish!
RACIST!
im white you suck
OK I have a great tip for your plastic bags. When you move, they make great cushioning for your fragile stuff.
Also, to get more people to recycle, they should do it how they do it here in Michigan. For every can or bottle you purchase, you pay a ten cent deposit. When you recycle you get that money back. Almost every grocery store has self-serve recycling machines and they are actually really fun to use.
Yeah, New York has a deposit too. All it does is make my beer more expensive and homeless people a tiny bit richer. Certainly doesn’t get me to recycle. I consider the 5 cents I paid to be a convenience charge so I can just throw them in the trash.
Why are white people only known for recycling? I think all people should recycle, in fact, it should be the law. Its exactly why places like Iceland and Switzerland have the highest standards of living in the world.
whats wrong with you?
“Its exactly why places like Iceland and Switzerland have the highest standards of living in the world.”
