Scumb Bags and Pollution

[Flyer]

You guys have just carried on from climate porn.

You're right. They're related. Pollution is pollution, whether it be air pollution, ocean/waterway pollution or terrestrial pollution. For the life of me I don't know why some pollution is considered bad (plastic bags) and other pollution is considered good (air pollution), because the climate change debate is all about what we pump into the air.

You are right there Duncan brace yourself it's only up to page 2 the climate porn went for 30 odd pages this could be a good time to switch the computer off for a few months or so

Rofl... it started as bags... but some people are strong it towards climate again.

But what I find funny is the twiggy video posted by fluffy... I thought my eyes were playing tricks and it was flyer who posted that. Because twiggy says
This is a man made problem.
We all over the world need to work together to fix it.
An entity needs to collect money from developed countries and distribute to the pollution creators.

well quite simply plastic waste is a tangible and treatable issues, unlike most of the assume garb from the other camp. thats the entirety of that.

One minute we're whinging about pollution from paper mills the next we're whinging about plastic and plastic is a man made problem when we go camping we pack stuff into our own containers why can't we use our own containers to when shopping it's reusable and as clean as you make it its just most don't want the hassle of doing so and the supermarkets crack the sh!ts when you hand them a container to put the goods into and we have the same fibre bags we bought when they started cutting back on plastic bags

[flutch]

well some of the biggest waste now really is what parents and family members buy kids, toys and the packaging they come in are a huge waste of not only the resource that theyre made from but they arent recycled properly due to cost and they are completely plastic and s**t.

[Sergeant Hartman]

What's funny is both come from the same place...aka petrochemicals...ground. but some people think one is man made and other isn't.

Both? Are you suggesting that paper is petrochemical and plastics occur naturally without technology?

[Flyer]

He's talking about petrochemical plastics vs petrochemical refined fossil fuels. Both are man-made from naturally occurring resources. You could also argue paper and cardboard are man-made from naturally occurring resources. I guess the difference is one is renewable (trees), whilst the other isn't (oil). I mean, oil might be renewable, but it takes millions of years to form.

[Sergeant Hartman]

Oh sorry I meant pollution wise. You have pollution off waterways from plastics that you can see, and pollutation from burning oil/ fuel that you usually cannot see (aka carbon), unless you are in 3rd world countries like China etc, which some people don't think is an issue.
