Donald Trump has ignored science and scientists since taking office. He says his "gut" tells him everything he needs to know. What his "gut" is really telling him is he wants a Big Mac and a Diet Coke. That's why he's made a shambles of the covid-19 response.
I am in shock! As a good citizen, I have recycled for years. Now I learned that the plastic is not being recycled across the whole nation! We have been fooled.

If you are a person who throws away single use plastic, you should be ashamed now that you know better.
