Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

Yes! That exact type of bankrolling is part of the "real" problem: actions by corps and govs to ambiguate the issue.

But most people don't think twice when they go into a store, get a plastic drink, then throw the bottle in the regular trash, or even litter. They should acknowledge their use of that onetime bottle is their responsibility.

I guess I take issue with folks posturing like the only needed action is systemic change, when personal change can start right now. ( Don't litter, find a reusable bottle, etc)

Anyway you didn't come here to continue this with me lol. Thanks for being legit
