Someone was going on about the straws and turtles.
What we really need in the world is an end to disposability.
All of it.
We/ve been really proud of ourselves as ingenuis monkeys creating these amazing boxes and cups and packages and bbqs
Disposable bbq!
If each person going out in a long day gets 2 drinks in a cup
that's a lot of cups
on my old street ppl would buy pizza and get a box for a slice or two
the garbage cans overflow with them
the super food store is full of things
in boxes and tubs
designed for disposal immediately after consumption
we've gone nuts with it
why not outlaw all of it?
Your fast food should come in a basic wax paperish something
no pizza boxes
tv dinners in the smallest bag possible that's biodegradable
No more coffee cups
bring your mug or don't get coffee.
If there has to be a container it should be reuseable.
The boxes for the toys
the boxes and boxes on everything
Why don't we just not allow it?
The cheap $20 bbq at the mega hardware store
its cheap, from china, works once
and they leave it behind because it was so cheap!
Dozens of them left on beaches and parks
manufactured to be cheap and disposeable
We can't afford that disposeability in the end
we really can't
our bullshit is piling up
and we gotta get real about it
we have organics bins with 2 tonnes of edible organic food going to composting from each small grocery per month
Its better that people eat it than we build bigger composters and locks.
Why does the soap have to come in bottles, it can come in bags. Why is there a box around the bag of cereal, the box is unnecessary.
Why not make it illegal to sell any object without a 5 year or even a lifetime warranty?
You know they can make a lightbulb that never breaks or burns out? They've been able to for 50 years! Just because they can manufacture a million things for under a dollar shouldn't we stop them?
If it breaks in 1 month its designed to be garbage. That's what it will be!
I'm throwing out a printer today.
Planned obsolescence.
They know it will last 2.5 years because it was designed that way to make more money.
Stop it!
Make them make the printer last 10 years or they can't sell it
Same with the phones, the headphones, the hand tools, the gadgets
Make them last or don't let them be sold.
I've probably used and discarded 2-3000 lighters.
Just because we can make them, doesn't mean we should sell them.
Zippos and refillables work
