[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 737473, member: 21572"] I still see people with takeout in plastic bags, and yes, we, too, have stores that still have plastic bags, but you're charged for them if that's the route you want to go. Honestly, I quite like the idea of reducing plastic waste. Sot. Have you ever heard of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch? Look it up... Google it, it's located between Hawaii and California. Read about all of the animals that perish each year on account of all of the plastic waste. It's even been accounted for now that fine plastic particulate and fragments can be found in large metro centres drinking water. We can keep on living pretending that everything is rosy, and what we as consumers are throwing out doesn't affect us or the environment or living things, but the bottom line is, it's killing us, our planet, and other living things. Insurmountable living things. Very sad, and all because we are such wasteful, inconsiderate creatures. If someone came into our world, the current world we live in and started poisoning it without our consent, would you openly accept such a thing? What about all of the animals and living things that have been in existence for as long as mankind has been? Do they deserve to have their natural habitat and homes poisoned and polluted? No. We should be thoroughly ashamed of ourselves. [/QUOTE]
