It's a matter of numbers. If there were only 10 people in the whole country who had problems chopping/peeling veggies and fruits, obviously it'd be far more wasteful to do it in a centralized fashion. If there were 100 million, obviously it's be far more wasteful to do it via individual helpers.
The question is, where is that sweet spot, and how do we weigh the environmental consequences into that equation?
- Nutmog 11y agoYeah. The sweet spot moves closer to factory-made if the product can also appeal to regular people, like these oranges. Environmental consequences? What environmental consequences come from using a plastic container? That's a whole other argument, but as long as it's being landfilled not burnt, it's not doing any harm for climate change. Landfills are pretty safe places to store unwanted plastic without it affecting the environment. Making plastic consumes finite oil, but the more we turn into plastic, the less we have to burn, so that's good for climate change.
