This is going to turn out to be the lead of our time isn’t it?
This is just one of several “leads of our time”.
PFAS is another.
Overuse of neonicotinoid pesticides is another.
Plastic is such a fucking disease. There are so few items you can buy in a supermarket that aren’t somehow covered in it. I get it, it’s super convenient. Which is why as long as it’s legal, the situation won’t change.
I think heavy taxes on plastic could change the situation; if plastic packaging isn’t economically viable, alternatives will be used.
This would be totally unpopular I’m sure, so it will probably won’t come before climate change killed us.
I hate it so much. I can’t buy shit without plastic.
They should just take a deposit for reusable ceramic, glass, or metal containers. If you want to keep it, keep it; if it is fine, you just return it and get your deposit. They can be sanitized.
In bakeries, deli, and butcher sections in supermarkets, everything is plastic.
I’ll continue to use glass bottles with metal caps then. But I’ve never seen a glass bottle with a plastic cap
I hate to break it to you… Glass bottle microplastics study
THE DEUCE? damn, thanks for this. So it’s the paint from metal caps… Maybe, now we’ve removed dyed plastic caps in places, this is the next target…
Yeah unfortunate news. Sorry about that. Haha
