Is it wrong to rate your own thread? Because this has gone places I am enjoying imagining.

I run my dishwasher every day during this pandemic it feels like.

My favorite thing about amazon is, its like the forbidden fruit.

You know that if you use it, your footprint is now 100x larger than it was before, you're massivly contributing to global warming with the incredible amount of waste that is required to get products to your front door multiple times a day, let alone groceries.

I mean its like, the worst thing you can do to the environment ever, and every single person I know that is against all of that, orders from it every day.

1 truck is better than 1000 cars travelling to the feeding trough

Each object in that fresh order is wrapped in plastic that is not recyclable but ok!

Now that said, what I wasnt able to edit in my post is, every one who cares about those issues, knows full damn well that amazons impact is way more than if they went to the store themself but the forbiden fruit is just too tastey.

Idk what your thinking but if you think you're contributing to a better environment by ordering amazon then ok thats great, good job!

Wait did you two just try to dunk on me by suggesting that 1 truck driving 1000 routs is some how better than 1000 cars driving those same routs? lol

Indeed, the net environmental impact of a gigantic corporation operating globally is greater than that of one citizen buying Lil Debbie Zebra Cakes while stoned out of his/her gourd

There is no try

We saw that emissions were way down during lockdowns due to people not driving their cars to shop for shit three times a day. Yes, Amazon packaging is wasteful, but so is every aspect of consumer packaging that exists. His point stands. One truck full of targeted supplies beats a community full of people driving to an air condiditoned warehouse to browse a limited but varied supply of goods at their convenience.
