plastic corpos really fucked us by passing the burden on to us to recycle their garbage, but why should i if they’re manufacturing plastic bags either way? (to clarify, this is out of curiosity. i LOATHE plastic anything in my home & try to minimize is as much as possible)
There are a thousand decisions like this.
You have to decide where your ethics are. You’re right, they’ll keep making them. It doesn’t matter what others do, it’s what you choose to do that defines you. Are you okay with taking a single use plastic bag and letting it sit in the landfill for thousands of years (or in the ocean) so you can have the convenience of not carrying a fabric bag in? Are you okay with a minimum wage worker collecting your cart so you wouldn’t have to take the 20 seconds to push it into a corral?
These are questions you can’t ask the internet, it’s your personal morals. I know where my morals are. Everyone else can be who they are, but I am the only one who has to live with my decisions.
The manufacturers make what’s needed to meet demand. If demand is smaller, they make less.
please let me know what other questions i shouldn’t ask the internet. i’m new to the internet so it would be great if someone can tell me what i should/shouldn’t do.
