    I made no such argument, overtly or covertly. You even remotely thinking that is a failure on your part, not on mine.

    What are your constant references to how glass turns into sharp, scary shards that make it unsafe to walk barefoot then?

    Your “argument” is hollow. Honestly, you haven’t really presented much of an argument at all. You’ve said absolutely nothing about how to address the disposable society problem, in favor of berating people for wanting to do things in the “wrong” order and dismissing our suggestions and ideas as band aids instead of engaging meaningfully. It’s self masturbatory and uninformed at best, and adds nothing useful to the conversation.

    If you wanna talk about how to move away from a disposable society, we’re all ears. If you wanna continue being combative for no reason, I’m out.

      If you could snap your fingers right now and replace all plastic usage with glass without addressing the root cause, in 20 years time we’d be having the same argument as we are now, except you’d be demanding something to replace glass on the insistence of just using a better material will magically solve the problem.

      Glass doesnt magically make society non disposable. As I have said, repeatedly. Getting rid of plastic wont cure a disposable society, it will only just make whatever replaces plastic the new waste dejure to end up everywhere and threaten everything in its own new ways

      If you wanna talk about how to move away from a disposable society, we’re all ears. If you wanna continue being combative for no reason, I’m out.

      until you fundamentally change society by having strict fines, personal repercussions, and public shaming. . as well as education and wide spread access of disposal receptacles, and a waste recycling system that doesnt just dump 90% of its collected recyclables into a landfill.

      Only one being combative is you, because you cant tolerate being challenged. If you cant have an adult conversation, then don’t engage in one. And if you’re gonna participate in a discussion, read the goddamn replies, and don’t whinge about shit not being said/addressed, that has already been said/addressed.
