I think depot would count as reuse, right?. Honestly, I'm stoked whenever we manage to make it past "recycle."

I'd be happier if they announced that recycling was fake and everything you throw in the blue bin is trash.

Perhaps, but I think it can be argued that it encourages more consumerism. The market for second-hand selling may encourage those sellers to buy more new.

Fundamentally the idea of an everchanging fashion is problematic, not just environmentally but also otherwise.
