Around 22% is "recycled" sometimes in disgusting ways:

Same story with clothes, paper and plastic recycling, it's just talk and green-washing.

The question is, how much guilt-free landfill waste should each person get to create in their lifetime? Don't say zero.

The problem isn't landfills; it's the toxic substances being spread all over our planet, as seen in the video. Just stop telling people that e-waste is being recycled—it's mostly a lie.

But i can answer you the "guilt-free" part it's really easy:

Don't buy stuff you don't need, or stuff that's just for short-time-fun (Labubu vs. Guitar) ;)

What if you want a Labubu (whatever that is) more than I want a guitar? Clearly we strictly need neither of these things. It would be better to use a more objective measure like mass.

>objective measure like mass

Because 1kg of Plutonium is the same as 1kg of Wood?
