We need to consider the real costs of this products, to include the price we need to pay to recycle them.
- hartator 8y agoYes, it’s what I meant. Plastic culterly can be found in your local supermarket for very cheap, and when you don’t have a car, and can’t received packages from Amazon, it can be truly your unique solution.
- simion314 8y agoBut is not everyone you are thinking of have already metal tools? you use those for life. I see plastic things used for fast foods or maybe you have some cheap gathering and don't want to use your good tools so they are not lost.
- hartator 8y agoOf course metal and wood tools are usually of a better quality, and they are nicer. I would avoid plastic until I can’t financially. However, the rationale of poor families buy plastic ustensils does make sense. You can buy a lot more for 2 or 3 euros, can reuse it, and it’s more easily obtainable.
