Brilliant! I also do my best to avoid buying any plastic at all! I love that saying there is no away! Didn't hear it before, but so true. If you are "stuck" with all the garbage you make, it would really make people reconsider what they buy and reuse.
That being said, we recently visited a recycling station in Denmark, and I was really impressed with how much that got recycled (70% recycled, 23% get's burned for heating water and houses and the last 7% to the dump) that is 7% too much though, and as you say, anything recycled costs energy and new materials in the processing, so it is really just continuing the mad cycle of consumption and throw away
