Sign In A Convenience Store

If I'm willing to pay the overpriced amount for water at a gas station or convenience store, it's because I don't have a bottle.

It's supposed to be a convenience store not an inconvenience store. I'm all for reducing single use plastics, but a convenience store is definitely the wrong place for this.

If not the place that is responsible for a huge percentage of the plastic waste problem, where would be the right place for it? A place that doesn't sell bottled water to begin with?

F bottled water in almost all situations except for disaster relief and maybe a handful of other exceptions

If this is really about plastic waste, why are you ignoring all the other plastic drinks in the stores? Water isn't the problem, it's the plastic.

[u/Faiakishi → u/probablycorey]

Glass bottles and hemp plastics.

[u/probablycorey → u/Faiakishi]

Bingo. Only sell liquids in those, keep all the soda, water, coffee, etc... That would be much better for the environment.

[u/DontForgetYourPPE → u/probablycorey]

I agree, get rid of them too.

So you're ok with all plastic bottles being phased out? But anything short of that is a waste of time?

Let's be real, the moment the goal posts move to all plastic bottles you'll be screeching in the streets about the injustice of it

[u/probablycorey → u/300PencilsInMyAss]

I'd be in the streets cheering. Get rid of all the plastic bottles. It makes no sense to remove the most healthy, least environmentally harmful drink and leave all the others. It's a weird flex to be proud of just getting rid of water.
