Sounds like a great philosophy to live by.
Plastic is a HUGE problem, so over here they've banned plastic bags in supermarkets and replaced them by PAPER BAGS!, so lets just cut down more trees shall we.
I used to use my plastic shopping bags over and over and over again for everything, because they are a great size and they're strong. I used to wash them and hang them out to dry and could use just one a hundred times over- more infact.
Now if I need a plastic bag for something, I have to buy a whole roll of pissweak thin stuff which rips at the drop of a hat, and so throw that one away, then the next and the next and soon you've gone through 10, when you just wanted that nice strong one to put my smoothie cup in or lunch container so they don't leak all through my backpack (which has happened more times that I'd like to remember....) and wasting so many thins ones that have instantly ripped is a far worse outcome than having the strong ones that we could get at the supermarket.
OMG I can't believe how gullible people are and the corporate giants with all their greenwashing bullshit are laughing even harder than ever as now only are they destroying more of the planet by cutting down even more trees to make these paper bags that also rip at the drop of a hat with peoples food dropping and smashing on the ground (and who's going to replace those broken jars of food, dropped fruit and veg, not the supermarkets...), but also the huge uptake in people repeatedly buying those bullshit plastic bags anyway.
Sorry, I think that the whole thing save the environment campaign is actually going backwards as people are getting lazier, stupider and more gullible.
I mean seriously, lets stop fossil fuel mining and shut down coal fired power stations by building these mega giant wind turbines by using what? Oh iron ore from fossil fuel mining and constructing them to last FOREVER AND EVER because they will never ever biodegrade when they break down- which they often do....Oh what these corp giants are getting away with using their spin doctors to greenwash people brains is just sickening, so good on you for doing what you can.
If only everyone was as enlightened, intelligent and as proactive as you guys!
Sorry rant over...lol...
Rant on my friend, it's a pleasure to see that some people are on the same page as us.
Trying to reduce humanity's carbon footprint is a great idea, but the government thinks they are going to solve this problem in the blink of an eye, never thinking of the ramifications of how this new technology will impact the environment as well.
Most people would just rather roll with the punches without ever asking a single question.
