I am once again begging, begging everyone to hold these 3 thoughts in their head at once:

3. Plastics recycling is nonetheless part of a petrochemical greenwashing campaign, per @…’s post below. https://mastodon.social/@CelloMomOnCars/115650231600448649

"the [Chinese] plan removes #ElectricVehicles from the list of strategic emerging industries. That move has been misread by some commentators as a retreat. It is better seen as a milestone of maturity. When an industry no longer needs preferential support or policy protection, it has crossed from experiment to normalcy"
