Feels like there's a lot of binary puritanical stuff online sometimes. 'If you're not personally working 24/7 to combat climate change you are a terrible person' etc. We're all very tired. Frankly I think we're doing a great job, considering. I just think it's OK to be a bit shitty sometimes. You can just be a bit shitty sometimes. If anyone says anything, just tell them I said it's OK. The Ben commandments.
@TheBreadmonkey I couldn't work out how to clean an old bottle of Worcestershire sauce yesterday so I just chucked it in the bin.
@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey I mean, glass is fairly inert. I feel slightly bad doing that to the plastic jars but then again, you can't really recycle plastic that well either. I should just buy in glass...
@Akki @TheBreadmonkey To Ben’s point – sometimes I’m cleaning out a peanut butter jar and then remember how many billionaire jets are currently tearing through the atmosphere and I’m like, it’s probably OK if I’m not 100% consistent with this kind of thing.
@internetsdairy @TheBreadmonkey My (estranged) brother-in-law works for (evilcompanyeveryoneknows) and owns a small plane.
I don't own a car and never have.
I can throw out the occasional jar. I'm still on the lower level of this balance scale of my immediate family.
@Akki @TheBreadmonkey Yeah, I don’t have a car either, or indeed a plane, so I figure I’m doing OK compared to many people.
Can’t bring myself to sell my hovercraft fleet though.
