i mean, we cant really have financially independent people. its against the whole point of thr plan
Agree. But these issues have persisted and solutions been passed for decades, stop acting like it’s being solved now
hes not acting like that. hes responding to someone who thinks we should still use a bunch of plastic because nobody was worried in the past. a pretty dumb response.
More questions from poster formerly known as bookkeeper and knees. I appreciate the very quick follow ups. I don’t care to answer your questions. Take what you want from my posts and lighten the f up
haha. you run your mouth then hide when people address it. still crickets on the nonsense in the other thread. apparently youre hiding here.
You’re a great poster! Who would give a crap what my opinion is on plastics or family leave? Other than you and the other quick questioners.
I don’t understand how plastic water bottles companies get a pass, I guess they are contributing big dollars to political campaigns. Straw companies don’t make enough money to pay off politicians. You go to places like Costco and the plastic bottles area is off the charts. So stupid to not ban plastic bottles and go after straws. Anyone talking about banning straws but buying water in plastic bottles are fooling themselves.
Why does it require legislation? Merge, in all seriousness, you seem passionate about this, but if I looked in your refrigerator, under your sink and in your pantry, would there be brands with plastic containers? Shouldn’t it start with personal responsibility?
My household recycles every last thing, and will continue to do so, but very disheartening to realize only 10% of what we recycle doesn’t end up in a garbage dump. That’s a very disturbing thought, you can bet our climate change bill has no provisions to change that fact. I hear lots of people bitching but want to hear solutions.
All I’m saying if you take a position, you should walk the walk. That’s the personal responsibility piece. Tired of these politicians and leaders telling us what we should do, yeah they have a carbon footprint the size of 1000 people. Like where does Prince Charles get off lecturing the world?
Good point. We need to change individual peoples mindset. The supply chain shortages are helping to do that. Used cars are back to being popular, I expect eBay will be booming as people learn to reinvent and repurpose old items. Save those old white dress shirts out of stock everywhere. I decided I can only control the little world around me and maybe my community. “It all starts at home”, would be a great national advertising program. Maybe we could use the climate change money for that, instead of lining donors pockets.
We agree on this one, I sell reusable grocery bags made out of recycled plastic. I have been on this train of thought for years. I also love to fish, and I can tell you the big fish is not straws. Straws are a distraction from the bigger problem of plastic water bottles. If the government was serious we would be talking about water bottles. It’s crazy to pin this problem on straws, need to go after the big boys making the bottles but they contribute and line the pockets of the hypocrites running our country. They think we are stupid, and in some cases they are right. Smoke and mirrors.
People hundreds of years ago owned slaves, shot each other over mining stakes, didn’t allow women to vote, and pissed/shit in a bucket in the corner of the room. That all fly with you too?
