Slobodan, your concern is appreciated, but I assure you I'm perfectly fine. It's a lovely day here in Bellingham and apart from my recalcitrant toaster which refuses to toast when there are too many crumbs in it, I am quite relaxed.
... What's kind of annoying about building 'green' is how much more one has to spend for products with recycled content. But it was all worthwhile.
What caused the need for disposable products in the first place? The Left. You wanted women "out of kitchen" and now we have floating plastic islands in the ocean.
... desire to make everything a political argument, even after stating he isn't going to...
You don't want plastic bags - Amazon (the forest) suffers.
This is the second time you quoted me out of context. I clearly stated what my "no sarcasm, politics, or anything else intended" was referring to. To one question I asked. I never said I'd never again, god forbid, use sarcasm or discuss politics.But seems I need to illustrate it for you:
Oh, please. Show us attribution that "we" wanted women out of the kitchen, resulting in disposable items. Lame, Slobodan. You're gonna have to do better than this if you want to keep up your reputation for thought provoking arguments.
Slobodan is referring to me, andrew. I was mean to him once and he's going to keep sniping forever on account of that.Slobodan, your concern is appreciated, but I assure you I'm perfectly fine....
You're gonna have to do better than this if you want to keep up your reputation for thought provoking arguments.
Humblebragging much, Andrew?
Amen to that.
What exactly you want me to elaborate? That the Left wanted women out of the kitchen, or that "women out of the kitchen" are causing disposable items?
Not elaborate, prove. Both. Prove that it was the "Left" that created the plastic waste problem, as you stated.
I think it follows, then, that bizarre claims require bizarre evidence.
Capitalism is simply more efficient than other systems in responding to human needs.
Can't we send boats with fishing nets to collect the floating garbage? This is a serious question, no sarcasm, politics or anything else intended.
Stir sticks are not essential, here is my simple and constructive method to keep the world clean.I drink my coffee black, and eliminate not only the plastic, but also any milk and sugar. Triple benefit.And when it comes to other liquids, I stick to wine, water and beer. No sticks or straws necessary.
Bottom line: If not using plastic makes you feel better about yourself then by all means eschew plastic. But reports from the usual suspects that the sky is falling; the sky is falling, don't convince me that the sky is going to come crashing down.
