I could have titled this as just waste created by living daily, but wanted to focus it down a little more. I feel kind of like im the crazy one that sees this insane waste when eating at restaurants, wrappers, cups, drink carriers going right in the trash, billions per day. Its insanity if you think about it.
I’ve at least been never using cup lids or straws and never taking drink carriers when theyre offered (what a massive waste of cardboard!). Then most of the waste is at least paper from the bag and wrapper. Still not great. And yes, I know the solution would be “cook at home!” But that also wastes a lot of freshwater from dish washing, and sometimes it’s just nice to eat somewhere else.
I wonder if this is just something you notice as you get older. Then again older peiple probably waste the most, but I’m just guessing.
I could understand homecooking and when ordering food, as that stuff comes in disposable packaging.
But when going out to eat? Drinks come in a glass or cup, food comes on a plate, side dishes in bowls. I’m sure the kitchen produces waste, but you don’t really get to see it.
A lot of places been going the disposables route even if it is dine in with a tip. Idiots lost their fickong minds.
