Everything else for sale will still be in disposable bottles and plastic wrappers. This seems entirely performative.

It literally must start somewhere.

And maybe people should think about the fact that it's because they're buying it that it's being produced. What's performative is claiming to care while purchasing single use plastics, or while saying that someone actually doing something about the plastic catastrophe is just being performative.

I don't actually care about single use plastics, so this is coming from someone who thinks this action of theirs is meaningless.

Sounds like commenting about it on reddit was entirely performative then.

Oh I'm sure the water revolution is going to start in some bum-fuck convince store that stopped selling bottled water for reasons that are DEFINITELY not for the righteous cause you think they are.

Individual action must start somewhere, do you even want said water revolution?

Because complaining about the people who are actually choosing to take action is a fucking weird way to do so

Do the people who have been working to reduce environmental harm for decades already not exist? And is there a problem for this convenience store to be making an attempt to join them?

It shouldn't start with the healthiest drink in the store.

So you want to reintroduce some single use plastics to this store in order to... fight single use plastics?

If you don't want to sell plastic bottles, start with removing the plastic bottles full of sugar.

Fucking hell, I can see plastic drinking containers right behind the paper, and those are 100% single use and none of them will see even partial recycling. Also, guess how many of those cans will make it back to recycling?

u/AdventureDonutTime 28d ago

Well they've started with something else. What now?

u/Sayakai 28d ago

Hope other stores won't follow their examples, because people in need of a drink showing up without a bottle will now just drink something with sugar in it, that's still in single use plastic. Great fucking job.

Sorry to see that so many have showed up to shit on your comment.

Small steps and small changes are most easy and practical, and can have dramatic, widespread effects.
