"Wish-cycling" -> nghĩa là vứt đồ vào thùng rác và hi vọng nó có thể được tái chế, trong khi trên thực tế thì có lẽ không thể tái chế được.
Ví dụ
Everyone knows the three R’s: reduce, reuse, recycle, King said, adding that recycling should actually be the last thing we do. Keep Pasco Beautiful is aiming to get people thinking how they can use less, repurpose more and reduce their carbon footprint. Rachelle Dobbs, Pasco County’s recycling supervisor, said the recycling department sees a lot of “wish cycling.”
Unfortunately, the symbol only denotes (chỉ rõ) composition (kết cấu) – not actual recyclability; let alone (nữa là) in your specific geography. Consumers want to do the right thing, hence the ‘wish-cycling’ activity we see all too often – they just need a bit of clarity on what can and cannot be recycled effectively today.”
Nowadays people try to use the wheelie bins for ‘wish cycling’ – putting materials in the bin in the hope they get recycled. This can mean good recycling goes to landfill as it is contaminated (làm bẩn) by the wrong items.
This week — during waste reduction week — the city is trying to get a message to residents (cư dân) that so-called “wish-cycling” no matter how well-intentioned actually contributes to high contamination rates.
