  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Not always. I've always tried to buy what is better for the planet, even if that costs a bit more. Or will repair stuff instead of toss and buy.

There are dozens of us ๐Ÿ˜€

Ye, but you gotta look at it at scale. BP can crash ansingle tanker and pollute for the ewuivalent of 10 generations of your family (all branches). This type of scale of pollution needs to be addressed by governments via policies and their enforcement.

Totally agree on that. But I will also carry out my shopping in a cloth bag i brought into tue store instead of plastic at the till.

The more things are unwanted, the less oil derivatives that get made, which reduces profits. Not enough to dissaude big oil, but better than funding them and spin off industries

In a (sadly) hilarious twist of fate, the vast majority of the cloth shopping bags still use petroleum products like polyester or nylon.

Yeah, we have cotton and what appears to be felt, but I presume it is an artificial felt. But they are strong and won't make it to the landfill for decades

That's good. Some of the "reusable" bags I see for sale are practically disposable. It's ridiculous.

Yes, I know the kind you mean. The felt looking ones they started selling here are very strong. Full bag of grocery's plus 5lb bag of onions and 10lbs of potatoes in it, where its almost too heavy to carry and the bag and handles hold up
