You tell some people you burn your garbage, and they freak out! It’s illegal! It’s toxic! It’s smelly! Don’t be a cheap motherfucker, recycle, use the landfill.

But then I watch the toxic disaster of the Iran War, the urban garbage heaps all over, the fact nobody really recycles, and plastic has very little value in scrap market, and I’m like whatever, the shit burns well and makes an excellent fire starter. And if you burn it hot, it doesn’t really smell. Most plastic isn’t PVC anymore, or have nearly the amount of plasticizers and toxins of a generation ago.

Honestly, I don’t care. And I like fire. I’d rather just toss it in that white plastic garbage sack and into the fire and watch it be gone.
