I am willing to pay a decent markup (2x the cost)
- selectodude 4y agoI will gladly pour a gallon of milk into a bucket for you $4.00. Tell me when and where.
- positr0n 4y agoSurely you could make a far greater environment impact by donating $50 to a conservation or carbon credit charity instead of spending $100 on $50 worth of groceries that have less plastic in their supply chain.
- ricardobeat 4y agoNone of these will reduce the amount of plastic going into the environment. There is no “offsetting” plastic.
- Psychlist 4y agoThe cost of diverting plastic from the waste stream is high, the cost of recovering it once it becomes litter is higher, and the cost of getting it out of the ocean is dollars per kilogramme. And once we have it the best option we have is either melting into lumps of generic plastic to use as weights, or shipping it to Sweden to be burned to generate electricity (only place that does this AFAIK, and I wouldn't trust anyone in the US or Australia if they wanted to).
