I agree that we use too much plastic, and I've spent my whole life trying to cut down. But you can't make me feel that bad when you're the ones manufacturing unnecessarily large plastic containers and filling them with cotton wool to pad them out, when your 120 pill option could fit into your 60 pill bottle absolutely perfectly.

Don't even talk to me about marketing or standard sizes or whatever. Change the standards. That's what the entire eco movement has been about because the standards are contributing to killing us. Don't sell me a half-empty pill bottle; sell me a pill bottle made to fit your product without excess packaging to prevent breakage from spare space you've created to give the illusion of value for money.

This isn't on the consumer-it's on manufacturers.

#seriously #until i can take my own container to the pharmacy and scoop out pills into my own reusable container for a CHEAPER price than the prepacked #seriously tho byo container options should be universal and CHEAPER! than prepacked #think of the food savings too! for people who only need a little and would otherwise have the food go bad on them before finishing #think of the saving to local councils suddenly dealing with a fraction of the waste!#single use plastics still have their place but if we make them the exception not the rule #then we dont have feel guilty about banning plastics that make the world accessible to millions!#fuck capitalism #ive woken up grumpy and righteous #i think i might... have to look into these crypto jobs fuck.#eco #plastic waste #text tag #milkaid #ugh i hope thise tags are clear above. i mean yes we need to keep si gle use plastics for medicine and accessibility #plastics can be good! lets just reduce them where we can while not screwing over people who cant live without them ya dig?
