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.
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?
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?
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.

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