Burning is used as a way to "recycle" tho, like for heating n stuff but idk what they generally do w plastic
yea ig recycling it back to energy, but i think generally when we are talking about recycling we mean into another thing
True, just we have abt recycling rn in school n that was one of the recycling options (along w uh, old school recycling yeah, selling/giving away stuff, and one other thing I can't remember rip)

Depends on how your area is supporting different sorts of recycling\trash disposal.
Some have paper bags for food waste that gets picked up. Some areas don't at all (like mine) so it just goes into the general trash - that, we'll personally we reuse the grocery store bags for that, but it's also about just generally producing less trash to limit how many plastic bags or and well, plastic containers\packaging\items you need in total. 

Paper doesn't need a plastic bag, plastic bags obvi. goes into plastic when you can't reuse it anymore b\c if you have zero plastic in your life you're extremely lucky to be able to do that. Bottles or metal\glass don't really need a plastic bag either. You can just reuse one you already own in whatever material for a lot of it. The moment you take the wet trash out of it, you don't have the same 'need' for plastic bags in that sense.

Like you can build a lifestyle around less plastic waste but it isn't like you just don't use a plastic bag if that's what your area is supporting. it's not choosing plastic in situations you normally would so you reduce, reusing what you already have and repurposing it as many times as possible. 

Anyways, the issue (imo) is not really reusing plastic. It's new (over)production and burning instead of recycling it. Like it's here like it or not, the question is how we're going to address it as an issue we will have to live with for a long time ahead.

The best thing to do is to make informed choices about your purchases, within reason, to avoid producing waste in the first place.

But folks beating themselves up over it isn’t the solution either, cuz an individuals waste-stream is nothing compare to big corporations trying to make us feel it’s all our fault so they don’t have to accept any responsibility.

We did that when I did recycling pickup for my college 
it was alright, pretty gross
would probably be easier with your own trash and knowing whats in it
