      Time to start the « bring your own jar » movement with a 10¥ discount at the pharmacy.

      Just invade Tottori, take all the sand and make glass jars with cheap metal lids, duh!

      Half-Full Disclosure: I am not an expert in anything.

      Does anyone know what happens to all of the plastic that we put into the recycling bags that are also made of plastic?

      Is that actually somehow recycled into new plastic, or is it simply burnt?
