I'm so effing done with plastic food packaging.

"Pensez au tri! Barquette à jeter"

Translates to: "hey you, consumer, don't you forget to recycle, this whole pollution crisis lies in your hands now. Also, this plastic packaging we use, can't recycle that."

@yarmo Soncidering that plastic is a secondary product made as a waste product from gasoline it really doesnt address the problem if you reduce plastic or recycle it. The quantity produced isnt determined by the quantity purchased as it is already a waste product. If people dont buy plastics it is made anyway and just sent right to the dump.

This reminds me of the bitcoin using a lot of energy argument. The bulk of the energy used is to mine blocks, which get mined regardless of whether or not one decides to send a transaction.

True, though at least in that case the difficulty and thus number of blocks mined adjusts based on the number of transactions.

Also for the record most of the cryptocoins overtaking the space are energy efficient.

@freemo @yarmo Yes I was recently looking at "Nano". Seems to be much greener.
