Couldn't imagine buying a damned plastic bag every single time I went shopping for groceries. I've been using the same fabric bags for 15 years. It is such stupidity, being to lazy to pack a bag, that humanity wastes resources on.
- gruez 3y ago>It is such stupidity, being to lazy to pack a bag, that humanity wastes resources on. It's spending resources for convenience. It's not fundamentally different than buying coffee at starbucks (therefore necessitating a plastic lined paper cup).
- teamspirit 3y agoBoth can be true. Either way, both are the reasons why we are where we are with regard to the climate.
- zzzeek 3y agoyou can bring a reusable cup to Starbucks and they will fill it for you, this is not anything new
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoWhat percentage of people do you think actually do this?
- zzzeek 3y agowow where'd those goalposts just go? I was over here, at "buying at Starbucks *necessitates* (OP's term) using a plastic lined, paper cup". Which is false.
- Wowfunhappy 3y agoThe OP (who was not me) should not have said "necessitates". However, I don't think the distinction is significant given how few Starbucks customers use reusable cups.
- zzzeek 3y agountil California (it's always California) bans paper cups.
- rayiner 3y agoIt’s convenience. People are paying a $1.50 surcharge to avoid the advance planning. That’s a no-brainer.
