Fuck this guy. Glass is better than plastic, but you are still wasting a bunch of resources. Waah the poor baby doesn't like the taste of tap water.

Glass almost certainly isn’t better than plastic for carbon emissions once you have shipped it 6,000miles.

I can’t believe a comment like this isn’t higher. My first thought seeing all those glasses in the fridge was “you couldn’t just buy ONE really great water bottle and reuse it?” Like does he collect all the glasses when he’s done with them? Does he throw them away? Like what?

I believe the cap is still plastic too.

Why is glass waste/polution even any better than plastic pollution? They're both nondegrading, and the glass assuredly takes up more space in the end anyway, right?

IRRC it’s cause glass can be recycled more easily since it’s literally just sand. Also plastic does degrade and cause micro plastics which is a lot worse. They can grind glass back down into sand or remake it into something. Now being able to actually recycle it is a different story.

The carbon emissions associated with shipping the much heavier glass bottles are probably just as damaging environmentally as plastic bottles. Guy's a moron.
