> Steel ice trays are a more sustainable option than the typical plastic ice trays.
Citation needed. I've never seen anyone not using their plastic ice trays for a decade. Sometimes more like 3 decades.
- Cthulhu_ 8y agoSome plastic ice trays can be pretty crappy though. Source: mine broke. I've got a silicon one now, not sure if it'll last longer though.
- rypskar 8y agoSteel, even stainless steel, can rust. So they don't have to last longer, it also depends on the quality
- eeZah7Ux 8y agoMinimizing small sources of pollution is always good, but I'm seeing a huge pattern of greenwashing. If people focus on ice trays and straws and forget large sources of pollution [1] we get what looks like an avoidance/displacement/procrastination behavior. It's like taking vitamins as an excuse to delay a needed surgery, so to speak.
