- modwest 7y agoLook man anyone trying to convince you in 2020 that "plastic is not a significant pollutant" is not arguing in good faith. Please, for the love of god, learn about the climate and the impact of human industry on it.
- BenoitEssiambre 7y agoI honestly believe the anti-plastic movement as well as the recycling movement are at best mass confusion and at worst a way for corporations to divert environmentalists energy away from focus on reducing consumption, reducing travel and reducing human sprawl which would have actual environmental benefits but would hit business growth much more than "buying reusable containers". This whole, I travel thousands of miles every year but that's ok because I bought a reusable bag shows a complete lack of proportion and perspective. On top of this, the reusable bags take more resources to produce and often they aren't machine washable so they're thrown out anyways once they're soiled, but that doesn't matter because both carrying options have insignificant impact to the environment compared to most forms of consumption.
