1. You go, Greta!

[niyad]

2. Snort!!

[tanyev]

3. Double snort!

[themaguffin]

4. I honestly I have never heard of this Tate guy. Should I have? I was really thrown how this

exploded as if he were a household name.

I also have not kept up as much this week with news, but wow.

[yardwork]

17. Apparently he's well known among younger folks.

My sons were telling me about him and then this happened. He sounds like a very evil person. Even the jaded young people are horrified by his behavior, which involves sex trafficking.

[niyad]

22. Hate-filled, misogynist prick who says women are rezponsible for being

sexually assaulted, and are basically worthless. egoloon muskrat let him back on twitter recently.

incels adore him.

[malaise]

5. Ha

[malaise]

6. Ha

7. Awesome! Except you can't recycle pizza boxes . The grease ruins it. If you put the box

in with other recyclables some places will not recycle the entire container. That's the way it is in Chicago.

Sorry, felt a need to inform about recycling.

Greta is AMAZING! She probably saved lives with her tweet that lead to his taunting her and giving up information that lead to his arrest.

[msfiddlestix]

8. true, but greasy pizza boxes can be composted..shoulda said composted I think, but we know what she

meant I think.

[Botany]

9. Pizza Boxes recycle just fine but you can not recycle the the greasy piece of cardboard or ....

.... plastic it comes on.

[mucifer]

10. Good point! I just want people to know if you throw the whole box in it's bad news

[nuxvomica]

16. I recently added a box for frozen pizza to the cardboard bin

It was for a store-bought pizza that you cook at home. The box was made to look like a delivery box but the pizza had been wrapped in plastic and the box was clean. Just as I had feared, one of the people at the dump scolded me and I had to explain. I actually was pleased they were so thorough. The pizza was terrible, BTW.

39. They were wrong, though -- you can recycle them

You just have to do it correctly.

[spooky3]

18. In parts of NoVA, you put the greasy box in the yard waste container.

The county picks it up weekly.

[John1956PA]

21. True. I read her tweet to mean, " . . . when you fail to . . .

. . . dispose of your pizza boxes in an environmentally-friendly manner."

Greta inspires us all to think beyond just ourselves.

[progressoid]

28. I tear the tops off of mine and recycle it (if they aren't greasy)

And throw the greasy parts in the trash.

[Seinan Sensei]

29. In this case, the greasy part WAS on the top of the box

... where Tate's greasy little fingers had been

[pansypoo53219]

31. we trim the greasy bits off.

[ProfessorGAC]

32. I Was Considering A Similar Post

I know the thread is about Greta, but our rules are no items that had direct contact with foods.
The plastic tray meats come on, for instance, are a big no-no.
However, if we wash them out it's OK. But, no way to do that with cardboard.

[soldierant]

34. That you!

I was hoping there was a way. Well, not really, because i'm allergic to wheat so can't order in.I can get frozen caulifloer crust gluten free ones, and they are sealed in plastic, so I can (and do) recycle those boxes, but the plastic wrap can't be.

[NullTuples]

35. Except...that's not true. Pizza boxes *are* recyclable. (with links)

"It's advice from the dawn of curbside recycling: Don't put your pizza box in the blue bin because the greasy cardboard and cheese scraps make it unrecyclable. For years, conscientious recyclers followed this advice, and tens of billions of pizza boxes were sent to landfills and incinerators. The intentions were good, but it turns out that the advice wasn't. New research reveals that, so long as you remove all the pizza, the cardboard container that held your Veggie Supreme can be readily recycled into something new."

https://www.sierraclub.org/sierra/yes-you-can-recycle-your-pizza-boxes

"A recent study confirmed pizza boxes are recyclable. Grease and cheese are not an issue for the recycling process. Simply remove leftover pizza and place the box in the recycling bin. We encourage communities to update their residential recycling programs’ guidelines to explicitly accept pizza boxes that are free of food."
- American Forest & Paper Association

https://www.afandpa.org/news/2021/lets-set-record-straight-pizza-boxes-are-recyclable

"The verdict? Pizza grease is not an issue. Pizza boxes can be recycled. Pizza can not. Empty your box and recycle.
In 2020, pizza box manufacturers and mills came together to test how much grease is okay in pizza boxes so they can still be recycled. We took it a step further and created messaging materials to help local programs inform residents."

38. Yes you can

[liberalla]

11. Another zinger from Greta!

This whole situation should provide chuckles for the foreseeable future!
Go girl!

[IronLionZion]

12. Andrew Tate was charged with human trafficking, rape, and organized crime

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Tate

Looks like a real POS. Won't get to enjoy his cars or pizza in prison.

[bigtree]

13. ha!

...on point and deadly.

[GryphonShouting]

14. Social Media Should Build Her a Statue

I mean, that's ^goddess^-tier shade, when you clap back at a dude so hard he gets ^arrested^.

[AllyCat]

[Atticus]

24. Did anyone read this without at least smiling? nt

[kpete]

27. smiling & sharing

[Kaleva]

25. Climate change will still devastate the world

[Takket]

26. Greta with the BURRRRRRRRRRRRRNNNNNNNN

[Genki Hikari]

30. BWAHAHAHAHA

Get 'em, Greta.

[Blue Owl]

33. Keep feeding him more rope, Greta

And maybe Mr. Tate will finally be hung….

[Aussie105]

36. Andrew Tate is a cult figure in some quarters

because some younger males see him as everything they would like to be but are too afraid of the possible consequences.
Seen as a social media 'lifestyle influencer' in some quarters.

The pizza boxes may have been a deliberate hint to the local police that he was back in the country.
A taunt, like 'I am here, what are you going to do about it? Ha, can't catch me!'

And the verbal exchange with Greta similarly, may have been a bit of a publicity stunt.

Not the first time a gangster figure has taunted local authorities and come off second best.

[twodogsbarking]

37. Greta has a smile that says it all.
