“I’m going to forget recycling exists and assume the worst to perpetuate OP’s nihilism while shitting on a nice display of environmental solidarity”

And I suppose you posted this comment on a piece of locally-sourced tree bark powered by love?

Plastic recyling is absolute nonsense. And crappy drone batteries RARELY get recycled in reality. And recycling shouldn't be the first thing you think of: REDUCE, RE-USE, RECYCLE. There's a reason it's third in the list, it's the least important and effective tool.

I'm just trying to be realistic rather than participating in pointless virtue signaling.

“i’m being overly reductive and cynical while participating in pointless virtue signaling”

Yeah, we got it. PS: these drones aren’t single use only

LOL is that the only thing you know how to do? Just put your own bullshit in quotes and act like somebody actually said that? Sounds stupid and pointless, but maybe fun. Let me try:

"I can't deal when somebody criticizes a dumb article about a dumb light show that I posted, so I'll be overly defensive, make up nonsense, and put words in others' mouths that they didn't say. Goo goo ga ga, etc."

Boring.
