Will we look back at today's "go green" initiatives as stupid and inadequate? - LemmyWorld

When I was in elementary school, the cafeteria switched to disposable plastic trays because the paper ones hurt trees. Stupid, I know… but are today’s initiatives any better?

The paper/vs plastic thing sucks because both are bad. Paper needs trees to be cut down and single use plastics are horrible for the environment
