Can’t imagine what could possibly go wrong with this idea.

    Sorry, I respectfully disagree.

    Too often the “something” which may in some ways be better than nothing, is used as a token solution to soothe the requests of activists.

    For example, banning single use plastics really grinds my gears. People feel like they’ve made a sacrifice, so they must have achieved something. However, everything at the supermarket is still sold in plastic packaging?

    As in, its not “bad” that we no longer use single use plastics, but its not worthy of being called progress.

    Like on a scale of 1 to 10 for plastic reduction efforts, 10 being “no additional plastic” we’re about minus 30. Without this measure we might have been minus 30.2.
