ExiledInIllinois Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 TIL a cotton shopping bag must be used at least 131 times to have less impact on the environment than single-use bags CBF I always wondered what that number was. 131 times, that is a lot! Does that factor in the chithole that the bag was made in (China)... And the effect on the poor slobs making it? Land of enviro unintended consequences.
ExiledInIllinois Posted August 11, 2016 Posted August 11, 2016 Don't the enviro bags ended up getting nasty, bacteria filled from using so much. You can't wash them or they fall apart. Then there is the water and soap needed even if you can wash them. But we separate, I mean "recycle" our garbage too. Figures. These environmental Nazis have their heads so far up in the clouds while simultaneously stuffed up their azzes... You wouldn't think it possible. But save the earth from the ugly plastic bag! /wallbash

Saxum Posted August 13, 2016 Posted August 13, 2016 TIL a cotton shopping bag must be used at least 131 times to have less impact on the environment than single-use bags So says "Stephen Joseph, counsel for the Save the Plastic Bag Coalition, a San Francisco-based coalition of plastic bag manufacturers." so not surprising. It is like Beerball saying a case of beer drunk a day is good for your health.
DC Tom Posted August 14, 2016 Posted August 14, 2016 TIL a cotton shopping bag must be used at least 131 times to have less impact on the environment than single-use bags CBF They're comparing the marine impact, litter, and waste management to the fresh water and energy usage of growing cotton and making canvas...and coming up with a factor of "131?" You need to unlearn this.

You need to unlearn this. And the young 10 year old Vietnamese girl chained to the sewing machine? I say phuck the enviro... It will get over it. Anyway, it isn't even a point about the plastic bag if one just gets rid of it properly... Or sorts it to hopefully be recycled. Edited August 15, 2016 by ExiledInIllinois

ExiledInIllinois Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 "Events." Those are not sports. There are only three sports: Bullfighting Motor racing & Mountaineering... The the rest are games.
Cugalabanza Posted August 15, 2016 Posted August 15, 2016 There are only three sports: Bullfighting Motor racing & Mountaineering... The the rest are games. I would disqualify Motor Racing too because you get to sit down the whole time.
