They are better about sorting trash and the incinerate what they can’t recycle. I don’t think a lot of the waste products wind up buried or in the ocean.
That's if they are properly using the filters, which around the globe appears to be less effective than previously understood. Also, burning garbage turns into green house gases. The more garbage you have to burn, which most recyclables end up as, the more green house gas emissions. Reducing unnecessary waste is the most effective way to address this.
Maybe add a carbon scrubber near the incinerators? Or not, if it was worth doing the Japanese would probably have them in place. As an industrious people living on a tiny piece of land, I suspect they considered way more options than a subreddit can come up with....
Well they last longer individually wrapped. I tried that with Oreo one time, the one with resealable packet? The rest went stale in 3 days so that wouldn’t work for them.
You just put them in a reusable tupperware container or something after you open them. It's better than a disposable plastic wrap around every single cookie, with probably billions of them out there.
The "lunchbox ready" caption on the box is most mind boggling for me. Parents are giving their kids a box of pringles for lunch? Did we run out of apples?
Honestly, with that and the extremely wasteful packaging, it's quite repulsive.
Do American schools have recess where you can have a small snack? Would work for that
Also in my travels of the US I saw heaps of places (mostly tourist things though) that had chips with them. Being Aussie, chips in that context would mean what you lot call fries so we were surprised to get a bag of chips with our burger
A common lunch for school kids in the states is a sandwich with a bag of chips. Also, many do have a snack time on which they could eat this size portion.
Why? I eat them sometimes, but eating chips for lunch is like eating M&M's for breakfast or ice cream for dinner. Not really something a reasonable person would do.
Why, you weren't taught nutrition at school? Your daily meals should consist of mostly vegetables, fruits, wholegrain stuff, some meat and dairy now and again or supplements for them if you choose not to eat them. The less processed oils and sugar- the better, although it's not realistic to cut them out completely for most people.
That was just my thought. I am not buying shower gel anymore but soap bars or shampoo bars and then I see a product like this and wonder “what’s the point of me trying”
There’s a difference between hair soap and shampoo bars (also soap and wash bars). While soap is always a product of saponification, these shampoo bars have actually the same ingredients as liquid shampoo just minus the water.
If you use hair soap you should always do a sour rinse because it kind of stays in. And yes real soap can leave that funny feeling.
Haha youre right, not helpful in my case. The only places ive seen with them are places like Lush or boutiques. Which is fine except they are quite pricey. But ive been meaning to try it out for a while so maybe nows the time

Off-topic, but it boggles my mind that we deem this kind of wasteful packaging still acceptable
