Yeah but this doesn’t scale. Like, there’s an assumption in these conversations that okay — glass bottles are better, but does that mean that now I’m going to hold on to and reuse every single glass bottle I ever receive from now on? Realistically? Then extend that to everything you use.

I can imagine ending up with a house full of glass bottles. Where does it reasonably stop for the individual?

The conversation also highlights that our intuitions about what the most environmentally friendly thing is can’t be trusted.

Individuals can’t solve this, that’s for sure.

I walk. It's like 10 minutes to the supermarket. So I'd rather carry weight for 10 minutes, on my way back, instead of 20, both ways.

This discussion is a waste of time. There are two options. One is easier than the other. Like everyone else, I want to take the easier one. Period.
