Society has effectively abandoned and destroyed a large section of do-it-yourself culture in favor of a rapid and disposable one. I'd wager that most people would not even consider the idea of making a cloth bag, and of those that would consider it a lot would not know how to do such a task, even if all that were involved is just sewing shut the holes of a shirt to make a sack, because their parents and their parent's parents were already fully immersed in atomized, disposable culture.
- codingdave 7y agoYeah. Unfortunately, that means we are having the wrong discussions, not just here, but with the people in our lives. If most people have abandoned DIY and want to purchase, and ship worldwide, every item we use, then paper vs. plastic vs. cloth isn't even a drop in the bucket of the environmental impact our lifestyle choices have on the world.
