Nonsense. Reducing waste in one way does not preclude reducing waste in other ways. It's like saying that you might as well coutinue smoking because you are still drinking.
I once had someone say that if you smoke, you might as well not get exercise, like jog or ride a bike. Strange logics.
The graph shows they are actively harmful though.
They’re not a little bit better - they’re dramatically worse.
I am just saying we should be honest about the problem and realize the silliness... Look at the graph -- 20,000 Organic cotton bag reuses to match a standard single-use plastic bag!
I don't get it, you don't think it's worth avoiding putting 20,000 plastic bags in a landfill?
Huh? The graph shows that you need to use an organic cotton reusable bag 20,000 times in order for it to have the same environmental impact as a single use LDPE bag.
Oh wow ok, I misread the chart. That's not great at all. I do stand by the content my original comment as a general principal. But this does indicate that there is not enough awareness around the environmental impact of various materials, assuming their analysis takes everything into account.
Look at the graph! It is actual harmful to tell folks they are solving a problem when they are clearly not.
