Macy, I love this video, but I really wanted to see your desk with all the waste you were unable to recycle at the end! ♻️

The guy at Coke stating this needs to be signed off before the video gets released absolutely sent me!

Almost didn't click on the video because of my awareness of recycling systems, but Macy and the morning brew crew always take it a step further to keep it engaging with the investigative journalism, the editing, and the greater impact of things we take for granted.

The recycling company et al. blames the consumer/govt funding (aka our taxes) for not recycling properly. No one holds the manufacturer accountable for choosing to package everything in difficult to recycle plastic.
