Fuck Fane

Since you’re in Providence, I really like Sin. All these recommendations for places in Warwick are kind of crazy to go that for just for some cupcakes, there’s a lot of great places here in town.

I see all these recommendations for Wildflour too in Pawtucket, I’m not GF or vegan and also love that place, everything is pretty damn good.

I hate this so much

… okay? 🤨

In Westerly?

What oil company said this?

You’re welcome. And Our Lord and Savior Nibbles Woodaway is going to do whatever she’s going to do, campaign or no campaign, she deserves it.

It’s funny, I sent a question to RIRRC yesterday and this is what they sent me this morning:

Hi, thanks for reaching out and great question! This can certainly be a bit confusing. Wet-strength cardboard is either made of fibers held together by a binding compound to repel water (frozen food boxes, kitty litter boxes, etc.) or the cardboard itself is lined with plastic (such as coffee cups). Fiber recycler add water to re pulp the fiber, so when the fibers are designed to repel water they don't break down in the re pulping process making them not recyclable through this process. Cartons on the other hand are constructed using a layering system. Some are a layering system of wax-paper-wax (like a milk carton) and other are a layering system of paper-plastic-aluminum-plastic-paper (like broth cartons). The buyer is able to separate our the good fibers from the other materials and recycle those good fibers. We hope this helps provide a bit more clarity to the topic!

There’s a reason for why they do what they do, just follow the rules and if you’re not just sure ask them. It’s not a big deal. Should it be easier? Absolutely. No doubt about it. But it’s not for right now, and for whatever reason you’re assuming that just because something SAYS it’s recyclable means it is, it isn’t. I don’t know how else to tell you that, it’s just marketing/greenwashing. Everyone needs to listen to their local recycling company since they’re who dictates what they can and can’t recycle, and I’m sure in the future things will change but it’s been like this for 10+ years here so nobody really has an excuse to not “get it” yet.

No! Who told you that? Those symbols just mean what kind of plastic they are, they have NOTHING to do with recycling them. So no, you haven’t followed the recycling rules from RIRRC.

There’s videos, there’s lists, there’s charts, there’s a Facebook page where you can literally message someone and a person gets back to you quickly, you can tag them in comments and a person gets back to within a day or so with an answer. You could take five minutes to figure out how to recycle properly.

Everyone complaining about how hard it is… it’s not hard. You just haven’t tried. When I moved here from a different state that did it differently the first thing I figured out where to find the trash and recycling pickup schedule and the second thing was what goes in the bins, what kind of trash bags like if I had to pay for special bags like other towns do, etc etc. It’d all right on their website and they’re very easy to get a hold of to ask a live person for something that’s maybe somehow not on that very long list.

What do you waste by following the very simple rules? Besides taxpayer dollars, I mean. What do you gain by being one of these people who purposely contaminate the recycling loads?

The recycling rules are extremely easy. So what you’re saying is you didn’t follow them and got discouraged when you realized you’re part of the problem people complain about contaminating the loads and costing taxpayers significantly more money and now you’re just going to dig your heels in instead of learning how to actually do it. Cool.

Same! It happened twice, it felt like it was right over me 😱

If you don’t know someone why would you respond and also make up a justification for a thing you don’t know about?
