I suspect the idea was to "remove the bins to reduce waste", but we still ate our lunches and just went for many walks a day to the kitchen.
They stopped the policy after several months
Isn't such opinions the whole difference between "propaganda" and "legitimate concerns"?
People who adhere to some idea, see efforts to spread it as perfectly normal reasoning. Others would see it as propaganda.
"Reduce, reuse, and recycle"
Is propaganda? What is the opposite action of that? What is a negative thing one could do counter to reducing, reusing, and recycling? It seems to me that the only propaganda that could come about would be counter to those goals.
>Propaganda is information that is not objective and is used primarily to influence an audience and further an agenda, often by presenting facts selectively to encourage a particular synthesis or perception, or using loaded language to produce an emotional rather than a rational response to the information that is presented.
Propaganda doesn't have to be negative, it just has to be influential.
The "negative thing" about "reduce reuse recycle" is the thing we're talking about here: "Hoarding". It encourages people to keep things they don't actually need or want, which has negative effects on their living conditions and psyches, which in turn can be negative for society in general.
I'm sure it's great for the environment, but it's less than great for the humans.
Austin, Vancouver, San Francisco, Boulder. Can personally confirm that it’s a big public propaganda and policy thing in SF. You get people spending time washing out their bottles like we’re running out of glass or a place to put it.
Humans are very strange.
There are cities and companies whose stated goal is to have no garbage service and (somehow) recycle literally everything.
