Calgary, Canada.

Beverage containers are sold with:

• Deposit: Depending upon the size of the container, your deposit is calculated. You get that deposit back when you submit the container to a recycling facility.
• Recycling fee: Depending upon how easy/difficult it is to recycle a container, you get charged a recycling fee. Metal containers I think charge 0. Plastics charge a little more.

It’s kinda neat I guess. Haven’t researched recycling systems around the world, so don’t know if there are any better approaches than this one.

Idealism is intellectual jerking off. Quite fun!

Definitely want kids in the future (adopted AND birthed if that’s a word)!

The world has tons of beauty to witness and look at. So many things to do! So many amazing people to meet, be friends with and chill out with! So many celestial bodies to learn about! Just so much of cool stuff to do.

That being said, I highly doubt I’d be comfortable having kids for at least 7 more years. I kinda want to live the fuck out of my “no responsibility”/edgy phase, while create the material conditions necessary to raise kids.

I know I’ll get there eventually though. Having kids is expensive, but not prohibitively expensive (at least where I live).
