I can handle it by circumventing the pointless change. Nice slippery slope you set up there tho.

[–] Sunfoil@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not pointless. It's one step of many to get us off destructive products. You're going out of your way to make it harder to recycle and to make it more dangerous for wildlife. Ideally you should have already been avoiding plastics, but I guess the government will have to drag you kicking and screaming into living sustainably and for the future. It sure would be great if people could take an ounce of personal responsibility for what needs to happen, so we don't need slow government interventions that will be too little too late.

You have no idea about how I live and yet you make snide remarks, bold assumptions and complain about my apparent lack of "personal responibility".

I barely ever use my car, I buy my fresh produce at the local farmer's market, I reject plastic bags and take my backpack when shopping, I recycle plastics, glass, paper/carton, gardening waste in seperate containers.

So fuck right off with your dumbass lecture, you holier-than-thou twat.

Not using plastic bags and doing your recycling. Planet saved. Thanks for illustrating my point perfectly.

Keeping the lid attached to the container. Planet saved. Thanks for illustrating my point perfectly.

No you've not managed that, you keep cutting them.
