    We can’t recycle our way out of the plastic crisis.

    As long as companies keep ramping up plastic production, recycling will always be too little, too late.

    what on earth does this childish performative post really mean ?

    c'mon greenpeace, lay out a plan: what happens if we keep plastic production at the same level

    how do we make mice and keyboards and what do we use for clothes ?
    c'mon, don't be performative, give us a plan

      @failedLyndonLaRouchite out of interest, do *you* have a plan to offer, other than pretending that it isn't a problem? We are all in this mess together.

        as i am just some internet rando, it isn't my job to come up with a plan - that is a job for experts, which, I would assume, greenpeace is in contact with.

        Like every large non profit (charity) in teh US, GP has to file a tax return called a form 990
        you can see that here
        https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/521541501

        the latest data is for 2024; GP in the US raised 38 million dollars in revenue !!

        maybe if there senior employees werent so grotesquely over paid, they would have money to devise a plan
        In the US, the CEO made almost a million dollars !!!!!!!!!

          Hi,
          your question confuses me a lot:
          clothes - mine are made from cotton, you might have heard about it?
          mice - you might want to collect and weigh all the plastic you bring home and discard (food, …) during the lifetime of one computer mouse/keyboard pair.
          Reducing plastic use / mis-use does not mean you have to live in cave tomorrow!

            your reply is so un connected from any reality that I am aware of tht I don't think any further conversation will be useful

              @failedLyndonLaRouchite in fact, a lot of Greenpeace's funds come from Internet randos - it's not like big corps are sending lots of money. But, OK, I get that you don't think Greenpeace is doing the job. Are you donating to another non-profit? Because it sounds to me like you are doing nothing at all.

                I don't care about how much $ GP has; I care about them offering BS posts instead of plans

                2
                you think a salary of close to a million dollars is ok ?
                that is, IMO, a yes or no question

                3
                I do do a lot; most of my charitable donations go to places that do things like deliver mosquito nets to Africa, or Vitamin A to poor kids
                so piss off with your assumptions

                  @greenpeace you may choose plastic bottle or glas bottle, tomatoes in plastic folie or loose ones, etc, etc. Many goods have a plastic free option - and look what's in their shopping baskets... That's the reason for plastic production. I am really tired of blaming others for our own bad. It is in our own hands!

                  I miss the little green open-topped square paper containers berries used to come in back in the 1970s.

                    @greenpeace We've long had options to branch off of more #FossilFuels based products, including algae tech. The problem has long been 'pure' #Capitalism #greed

                    Replace #FossilFuels #TechBros #Broligarchy with #sustainability #scientists

                      @greenpeace does this includes the bio degradable ones we keep hearing about ?? and you hear about developments that they are making plastic out of plants or whatever; wonder if all that should be classified as 'plastic' !!!

                        @failedLyndonLaRouchite sorry for making assumptions. For your part, you could stop assuming that 1 single toot is the whole of Greenpeace's plastics plan. They do, in fact, have more, and it isn't hard to find.

                          a nice, polite reply
                          🙂

                          Given that the CEO is paid almost a million dollars, I think he or she cold make sure that future posts include a link to their plans to reduce plastic use

                          I myself, maybe due to my background (PhD, biochem) think that a large part of any real world solution is biodegradable plastic, which, as you may know, a lot of people are working hard on

                            @greenpeace What really gets me is that you have to pay 10 pence for a plastic bag, that you store all of the products you just bought. The majority of which is in plastic containers. It's clearly one huge scam being operated by the supermarkets among others...

                              It’s ironic, isn’t it that Donald Trump is going to be the most significant eco warrior.

                              That war in Iran is choking off the feed stock of resins that go into every plastic product.

                                @greenpeace plastic is an amazing material that has so many special properties that make the modern world possible. Why are we using this wonder material for fucking spoons?

                                  how do we make mice and keyboards and what do we use for clothes ?

                                  @failedLyndonLaRouchite @greenpeace There is an option for these already available. None of my clothes have plastic in them. I mostly live plastic free and every time I can choose, I choose without plastic.
