You know why you separate your trash into three bins? [View all]

Compost, recycle, and landfill?

I’ll tell you why, because either your city, county or state requires it. This may not apply to everybody in the country, but I hope to God it applies to most.

Guess which piece of shit and which Supreme Court pieces of shit will soon figure out a way to force them not to do this.

Yes, FORCE them NOT to separate the trash and do the right thing for the environment.

Just like doing away with the electric vehicle subsidy, to get back at the adults these pieces of shit will damage the environment every way they can.
