That was my take away with what they were saying in a broad sense - making more and more and more paper is unsustainable not matter what. Reforestation is still hard on the creatures dependent on the original environment…monoculture destroys economies (only for poor people, obviously) - in the end, no matter what, creating new paper products on a whim is selfish, greedy and avoidable
Thank you - I knew there would be more pieces to investigate but I wasn’t sure what questions to ask - based on the price ($.07 each) I thought they might be a little too good to be true…I’ll see if they still hold up!
Oh for sure, anti-consumption is always important to remind. The packaging is out of control…and what paper does in terms of pollution - well I’ve simply had to come to terms I can’t control these garbage bags at the top, I can only control myself and do my best.
One thing I have found that I love is land-fill biodegradable bags for my customers. Paper, as meantioned, makes me wary, so when I found these I was pretty happy. They seem legit and they’re inexpensive
I never even considered that in the first place, so thanks for speaking up anyway:)
I wonder if that has anything to do with the methane torches that burn from the landfills
Holy shit How did it feel to be so content and one second later realize you didn’t ever own what you accepted as reality?
Two words hold a lot of weight these days it seems… Fake News
If need be, God need not die, it’s all just Fake News. Heck one day it might even just disappear.
It’s right under “bot account” on my screen…I’m on the desktop site though (thru my phone but still)
Yep, just found it the moment I realized it was a thing in this thread - go to your account settings and you’ll find an option to unselect bot accounts
I wish there was a way to just mark bot accounts…like finding out it’s a bot doing most the posting in TIL…wtf is that? If the community needs a bot to grow it, perhaps it’s not an important community on Lemmy at this time? Perhaps there’s another sub that’s going to grow more organically? In which we will infact learn something today?
Just want bot-less communities (other than fun/helpful ones that aren’t Grond) that aren’t headed by greed. Jfc.

Yeah, and they shut down the sister sights (OOC and nosleepfinder)
The stories aren’t getting much for upvotes anymore, but I’ve usually stuck with the archives. What’s killing me is not linking stories in nosleepfinder. That was my favorite pass time at night lol…my little bit of good in the world
I made mine the day some mods got locked out of there accounts…and posted about it with a link here lol. Seemed like nothing was getting better “by the end of the month”
Fortnight for me
Well other plastic bags are .03 - or the produce bags without handles are - I’ve shopped around, but primarily on Amazon since I have Prime, and the shipping costs elsewhere kill me
It’s so effing hard to be ‘good’
