@thomasfuchs These people are far too comfortable and removed from their own supply chains to be taken seriously about anything.
Note that they don't demand "ban some packaging types" or "ban single-use containers", they say "ban all packaging".
@thomasfuchs reading this my first thought was “banning 'docker run --rm'?? Who has a problem with single use containers?” 😂😂
@thomasfuchs outlawing bananas being shipped with the peel still on
@bonzoesc banning the internet because TCP/IP uses packets
@thomasfuchs citrus shipped as is because the zest is still culinarily useful
@thomasfuchs i expect they just haven’t thought through their wording properly (“be sensible, its obvious what i mean”[1]) and actually mean some form of, or all, plastic packaging
[1] no, its obvious what you men _when your words actually say it!!_ :(
@leadegroot i don't think it's their words they haven't thought through properly
@thomasfuchs I'm trying to figure out how that is supposed to work in the context of me buying flour at the grocery store.
Absolutists are a fucking trip.
@mhkohne that’s not a problem because the grocery store can’t get it delivered either
@mhkohne @thomasfuchs
I was wondering more about fluids.
Bring your own cup to the coffee shop?

#packaging :-)
@spacemagick @mhkohne Coffee shops will usually fill your cup when you bring them one.
The problem is more how does the coffee shop get their coffee beans?
@thomasfuchs @mhkohne
OK, I don't actually frequent coffee shops so I didn't know that was a thing 🙂
Now I'm imagining the queue at my local corner shop of people waiting to get their old Fairy Liquid, HP Sauce, Dettol bottles, etc. refilled.
#packaging
@spacemagick @mhkohne can't refill if you don't have a bottle (which is packaging) in the first place
