![Cartoon by Stephen Collins for the Guardian, here's the script:
[Scene is outside a SUPERMARKET with a SOFT PLASTICS RECYCLING BIN out the front. A MAN is approaching the bin with a bunch of plastic bags.]
1
BIN [the bin is a talking bin]:
Hello sir
MAN:
Hi
2
MAN:
Will you recycle these plastic bags please?
3
BIN:
Well, I am a green bin!
4
MAN:
And you’ll recycle them?
BIN:
Well, I do have a recycling logo on me!
5
MAN:
Will you recycle all of them?
BIN:
Well, I will recycle some of your bags!
6
MAN:
Will you recycle them.
BIN:
Well, I won't burn all of them Turkey!
7
MAN:
That sounds like something you'd say if you were going to burn most of them in Turkey
8
BIN:
I will recycle most of them in Turkey!
MAN:
Into what
BIN:
Energy!
9
MAN:
Does that mean burning them in Turkey
BIN:
NOW LOOK HERE
10
[The BIN has now sprouted ARMS and has aggressively grabbed the MAN by the shirt, pulling his face close]
BIN:
You're going to put them BAGS in my SLOT, right
MAN:
Oh my God you’ve got arms
11
BIN:
Your gonna put them bags in my slot…
You're gonna feel good about it…
Then you're gonna go in that supermarket and SHOP.
12
BIN:
Understood?
MAN:
How did you get arms](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4m3we4apbjayclzcnhwe3pfp/bafkreihswcus3pthx5beoiq4m5c7fknrdn43t7b6q2sen2fuy3asftyknq)
