I'm finding a huge disparity with your ideas. Saying that we need not worry about using too much glass, paper, or plastic because we have plenty of sand, trees, and land to bury waste, then saying we need to reduce our carbon footprint

> Plastic is petroleum and it's probably better that we use it and bury it then burn it. > We also have plenty of land to bury stuff in. > The thing we should focus on is carbon footprint. Is this a joke?

Me too. But I was distracted by the author saying at the end "Before that we thought we were mostly us." Idk what conventional opinion would be, but the mass part is a lot more important in my mind than the number of cells part. W

How would either of those situations (which are pretty much the same) cost Apple _financially_? If 10,000 people buy an app for 1$ each, the creator gets 7000$ and Apple gets 3000$. When they all get refunds. The creator refunds the 7000$ a

So if a kid doesn't watch enough superhero/disney/scifi movies they won't understand racism...? I agree that stoking kids' (and adults') imagination is useful and has benefits. But it sounds like you're cl
