Shush

if you want to be environmentaly friendly

2019-08-17 16:11:40 UTC  

they used to sell things up to the 90's

2019-08-17 16:11:43 UTC  

in glass bottles

2019-08-17 16:11:48 UTC  

and if you brought them back

2019-08-17 16:11:52 UTC  

you got a discount

2019-08-17 16:12:01 UTC  

and they could be refilled by the factory

2019-08-17 16:12:08 UTC  

Yes but if it breaks in your bag while you're out doing shit you don't risk making a mess

2019-08-17 16:12:24 UTC  

so dont carry around 30 bottles?

2019-08-17 16:12:33 UTC  

But yeah your idea was common in the 60's

2019-08-17 16:12:43 UTC  

those were racist times

2019-08-17 16:13:01 UTC  

i remember as a kid people returning bottles

2019-08-17 16:13:07 UTC  

in the 90's

2019-08-17 16:13:15 UTC  

especially since there was an incentive

2019-08-17 16:13:56 UTC  

they could sell plastic for those 2-3 drinks that you are going to carry around

2019-08-17 16:14:02 UTC  

and the rest you can buy in glass

2019-08-17 16:14:20 UTC  

unless some sadiq khan figures out that glass bottles are dangerous

2019-08-17 16:14:46 UTC  

and this way you wont have to spend billions on researching new types of plastic

2019-08-17 16:15:37 UTC  

but then you would have to bring back the bottles and that is too problematic for milenials

2019-08-17 16:18:06 UTC  

but i feel that all those products are there so people could virtue signal

2019-08-17 16:18:12 UTC  

and feel that they are doing something

2019-08-17 16:18:31 UTC  

Here they charge you a 5 cent deposit per bottle

2019-08-17 16:18:56 UTC  

Which forces you to return the bottles unless you want to lose money

2019-08-17 16:19:02 UTC  

yes

2019-08-17 16:19:07 UTC  

thats the system

2019-08-17 16:19:30 UTC  

the only solution i can think of is arsenic in the water supply

2019-08-17 16:21:44 UTC  

It gets annoying when a case of 40 water bottles has a deposit of $2 and then they also charge fucking tax making that case of water cost around $7

2019-08-17 16:22:38 UTC  

they should give a tax break if you buy in bulk

2019-08-17 16:22:49 UTC  

if they want to do some actual environmental good

2019-08-17 16:23:13 UTC  

This

2019-08-17 16:23:22 UTC  

But theyd rather exhort you

2019-08-17 16:23:39 UTC  

And then shitholes like CA have a deposit of 10 cente

2019-08-17 16:23:41 UTC  

<:HonkHonk:566814473646768128>

2019-08-17 16:23:59 UTC  

it would not cost much for companies to switch to glass ffrom plastic

2019-08-17 16:24:04 UTC  

$10 for 40 water bottles in ca

2019-08-17 16:24:04 UTC  

and most bottles would be reusable

2019-08-17 16:24:33 UTC  

But they dont care about the envirnment or anything like that

2019-08-17 16:24:46 UTC  

If they did they would support nuclear power

2019-08-17 16:24:58 UTC  

Instead of the solar/wind scam

2019-08-17 16:25:17 UTC  

Nuclear is cleaner, safer, cheaper, and provides jobs

2019-08-17 16:25:39 UTC  

i have 4 nuke plants less then 100 km from where i live
