In what job do you earn $1.2 million for meeting only 0.2% of your targets? One where your bosses want you to fail. Meet the Alliance to End #Plastic Waste, funded by #petrochemical companies intent on delaying limits on plastic production. #plasticpollution #greenwashing
@girls_can In Canada, Tim Hortons has introduced a wooden coffee lid. Already there is a lawsuit for lip splinters.
@hasmis what if you had to bring your own mug or purchase a reusable one in the store? We feel like plastic is a necessary evil of modern life. It definitely is cheap and flexible, but the health and environmental costs are extremely high. A little planning and support for alternatives is all it takes. This article shows the organized resistance by petrochemical companies, especially Exon, to curtail talk of production limits and distract with empty promises of waste reduction. It is collusion.
@girls_can We are talking about people going to work, who haven't had their morning coffee yet. They line up in their cars, idling, around the block.
@hasmis I agree. That lifestyle sounds terrible. It should be discouraged!
