I mean, we still CLEAN our toilets when they're still just visibly stained with hard water or whatever causes rings and whatnot, so I can see the feeling better about being a huge component

Ah the ol "it's not 100% effective and guaranteed to work so you should actually do nothing about it" argument...a true classic in any situation

Seriously though...I never even considered all the splashing and I'm a grown ass adult :/ happily my and my daughters toothbrush live in the kitchen

Well other plastic bags are .03 - or the produce bags without handles are - I've shopped around, but primarily on Amazon since I have Prime, and the shipping costs elsewhere kill me

It's so effing hard to be 'good'

Thank you - I knew there would be more pieces to investigate but I wasn't sure what questions to ask - based on the price ($.07 each) I thought they might be a little too good to be true....I'll see if they still hold up!

This is awesome thank you

Oh for sure, anti-consumption is always important to remind. The packaging is out of control...and what paper does in terms of pollution - well I've simply had to come to terms I can't control these garbage bags at the top, I can only control myself and do my best.

One thing I have found that I love is land-fill biodegradable bags for my customers. Paper, as meantioned, makes me wary, so when I found these I was pretty happy. They seem legit and they're inexpensive

I never even considered that in the first place, so thanks for speaking up anyway:)

I wonder if that has anything to do with the methane torches that burn from the landfills

 

I found myself wondering this as I got annoyed at the plastics industry and their stupid propaganda, as I do everytime I go to recycle something. But anyway, I had been thinking I'd heard something about people going to 'mine' landfills for metal because people weren't recycling and it's 'bad for the environment' and 'filling up 'landfills'

Bitch Please. I can see the dollar symbols on your pupils from here.

So it made me think, paper and the such breaks down quickly. Food too. The huge drives for community composting efforts and cardboard drives for schools etc - It's really all a matter of the fact we can re-use it all easily. Metal is worth money, used again and again, as it was straight from the earth. Just that plastic. Which is all but unrecyclable, save some clear/semi-clear containers.

But without the cardboard, my bin is pretty empty. It's like recycling exists just to pretend plastic can be.

Edit - I should add in my area if the recycling the plant receives is tainted in anyway they just toss it. The whole load. So unrecyclable plastic? Dirty? Wrong material? Gone.

And now some people don't count as people

Holy shit How did it feel to be so content and one second later realize you didn't ever own what you accepted as reality?

Only damn bean thing I've laughed at

Two words hold a lot of weight these days it seems... Fake News

If need be, God need not die, it's all just Fake News. Heck one day it might even just disappear.

 

I think my habit of reading /nosleep is what kept me from deleting my account...but I don't need an account to read and find authors. Sooooo...thanks for the reminder Reddit and ModCoord
