    Alright then, no point trying to convince you I guess 🫠 are you by any chance also against nuclear power in favor of continuing to burn coal?

      Jeez it works in small scale and for niche products since they don’t need to store them in dangerous quantities.

      The personal attack is a nice touch.

      Nuclear is amazing, it’s actually safer than coal, so I don’t get the point of this unnecessary personal attack since I was providing discourse as to why a very good idea isn’t pursued more.

        I wasn’t personally attacking you, just looking for additional context on why you are so staunchly defending single use plastic bottles, and what your solutions would be. Since continuing like we do, isn’t a valid option.

        For example, the dispensary model is being tested/used in Switzerland for a few years now:

        Also this would not require gas station levels of infrastructure, since people usually don’t fill up on dozens of liters of detergent at once, and there are various brands. Smaller tanks, qualified handlers, still seems a very solid option.
