Ye, but you gotta look at it at scale.
BP can crash ansingle tanker and pollute for the ewuivalent of 10 generations of your family (all branches).
This type of scale of pollution needs to be addressed by governments via policies and their enforcement.
Totally agree on that. But I will also carry out my shopping in a cloth bag i brought into tue store instead of plastic at the till.
The more things are unwanted, the less oil derivatives that get made, which reduces profits. Not enough to dissaude big oil, but better than funding them and spin off industries
Yeah, we have cotton and what appears to be felt, but I presume it is an artificial felt. But they are strong and won’t make it to the landfill for decades
Yes, I know the kind you mean. The felt looking ones they started selling here are very strong. Full bag of grocery’s plus 5lb bag of onions and 10lbs of potatoes in it, where its almost too heavy to carry and the bag and handles hold up
Not always. I’ve always tried to buy what is better for the planet, even if that costs a bit more. Or will repair stuff instead of toss and buy.
There are dozens of us 😀

In a (sadly) hilarious twist of fate, the vast majority of the cloth shopping bags still use petroleum products like polyester or nylon.

That’s good. Some of the “reusable” bags I see for sale are practically disposable. It’s ridiculous.
