Waffling on whether to flag this one - the charts and some of the facts are rather interesting, the political handwaving not so much. Edit: Made that comment when I was only two-thirds of the way through. The conclusion is very poorly thought out: > Let's demand returnable bottles and deposits on everything Let's refrain from conscripting people who don't agree with the author's stance: The author can patronize companies like Starbucks and Whole Foods that encourage bringing your own mug or shopping bag and give discounts for that, meanwhile we avoid adding bureaucracy and hassle to people who make the choice to go for a disposable cup or bag. The facts of the article are somewhat interesting, the political side not so much.
