[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That’s fine and your right to support it, of course. [b]Understand it’s just purely performative environmentalism[/b] that likely does more harm than good while costing the taxpayers money. Read the article for a little nuance. [/quote] Small actions are bad: too small. Large actions are bad: too large. Somewhere there must be an action that's juuuuuuust right? My advice for you is to get in the habit of bringing bags when you go shopping. Lots of people are able to do this, and likely you are too.[/quote] There’s real debate over whether the multi use bags are actually better for the environment. Evidence is very mixed on that; heavier bags require greater resources to produce and they usually fall apart before you can “break even.” I know it feels like you’re doing something for the environment by reusing a bag, but very likely, it’s doing nothing.
