It’s just a shame she couldn’t be bothered to educate herself about biological sex 🙄

Eh??? Well I always recycle mine! Don’t tell me you put yours in the general waste bin??

Well if there’s any grease on it … then you really shouldn’t recycle it. It can also contaminate the other items in the same bin.

But I get that’s not the point (I have autism so …. 🤷‍♀️)

Well, if she is in any way complicit in getting AT put away for a long stretch, she will have done more for the dignity of women and girls than any amount of threads on Mumsnet.

I’m not disputing that. I guess I’m still disappointed about her support of GI views.

This is correct. Most cardboard is sent to China for recycling and China passed a law that bans 'rubbish' being sent to them. Contaminated cardboard is classed as rubbish and therefore any load which contains pizza boxes is rejected entirely. One pizza box and the whole load goes to landfill, or up the chimney.

DH told me this and he should know as he's a professer in industrial recycling.

elgreco · 30/12/2022 18:11

Used pizza boxes don't go in the green (recycling) bin. They go in the brown(compost) bin. If you don't have a compost bin, then general waste bin.

Still funny though.

AChristmasCaro · 30/12/2022 18:11

Just been reading it all on Twitter and can’t stop laughing. Whatever you think about Greta (I love her) it would take a heart of stone not to laugh at Andrew Tate doxing himself with a pizza box.

Lavender1974 · 30/12/2022 18:25

In response to claims Greta is a multi-millionaire, in a recent interview to The Times she said she has given away all prize money she has earned as an activist and the proceeds from her book. All she lives on is her student grant and she allowed herself to keep the money for translating her book into English. I believe her. Whether you agree with her views or not (I don’t on everything) she is clearly a person of principle. In the same interview (by Caitlin Moran if I remember rightly) the interviewer was surprised by how few “people” Greta has supporting/protecting her. It seems very unlikely that other people are directing her and writing her tweets.

In my local area, (Bolton) we are directed to recycle pizza boxes in our beige paper bin.

YouWouldNotBelieveIt · 30/12/2022 18:30

I find her quite sanctimonious. Whoever Andrew Tate is (an "influencer? Grin), he's probably going to get his come-uppance

That’s interesting, in Gloucestershire we are told to out them in our cardboard recycling.

She's a cultural Marxist, so I suppose if you like that sort of thing....

That's an offensive euphemism for "Jew."

Yeah, sure, if you say so. What the fuck are you talking about?

Not to be a dick but having worked at the coalface as it were at a waste brokers last year, this isn't quite correct. 'contaminated' ie not a grade pristine clean cardboard is bought and sold many times over in this country and abroad until the last resort which you are correct, is landfill in China or India. The industry has come on a lot and there's loads of innovative ways of recycling food packaging now. If you don't separate out the recycling this effects the price it will fetch, first and foremost, it's not really about contamination at that point, just money changing hands.

Also, go Greta, trolling the troll wizard, I salute you !!

It's a fair cop. I had no idea about that so I was totally wrong. This happens from time to time.

OK, I think a lot of people don't. Sorry for being rude!

That's OK, and thanks for saying that.it's a bit rough here sometimes. Whilst we're about it, what do you people think they using that term if they aren't far right conspiracy nutters?

SinnerBoy · 30/12/2022 19:26

Ignorance of the origin of it's meaning, I should think. It's bandied about online an awful lot and I don't think that most people in the UK, at least, are Nazis. I've had a few online disagreements over it, often where people refused to acknowledge links supporting what I wrote.

I was probably snippy by instinct....

I don't blame you for that (being snippy). My patience for the kool aid gang is similarly all out these days compared to even a year ago.

Worldgonecrazy · 30/12/2022 19:40

personally, I dislike her.

However, as she is stuck in that teenage black/white way of thinking, and like all teenagers through the ages, has that smug righteousness, I hope she will learn that people are more ready to hear a message when they’re not being preached to, there is still hope. Her message isn’t wrong, her delivery is. Otherwise she will just continue to preach to the already converted….

Nope, nothing to do with him, I don't follow him, or what he's up to and don't even know what went on between him and her.

She just gets right up my nose with her smug preaching. She's a fucking child.

Well she isn’t a child, she’s an adult so you’re wrong there

and you’re attacking someone who stood up against a misogynistic human trafficker and contributed to his arrest.

which implies your judgement may be somewhat flawed
