What a nice day to spend on the "Ship is Back!" @macoolette😉 I'm not against greenpeace but somehow I want to know if the manufactures stopped their production, how many employees would lost their livelihood? If consumers stop buying their products, will they keep produce it?

It just something in my mind. I avoid to use plastic in my daily life, not 100% succeed .. but it cheapest and less fragile😊 if I want to buy an eco-friendly one, I couldn't afford it😊 So, I wish that those manufactures would buy back the waste instead of sharing their CSR funds to make big events and promotion.

Thanks for sharing your wonderful day with us😉

I care about the environment greatly, but, the blame does not go to the corporations.

Yes, you'All read that right❗

In a global economy, every bit of the cost goes into the calculation of sales and profits. So, if any corporation wanted to be environmentally friendly and add cost to their product and others did not follow, the company or executive will soon be out of business or employment❗

So, just like global warming, this needs to be a global effort and all countries that do business with each other must include or deal with the cost of recycling or clean up of these materials to prevent any imbalance in regulations or laws regarding these materials.

Hi there @cicisaja! The aim of the campaign is to awaken those big corporations to stop producing plastics specially single-use plastics. That is, they should find a different way of packaging their products in an environmental-friendly way. To me that does not mean people losing their jobs but just a change on what they do.

I used to work with Kraft (now Mondelez) and they have Research and Development team. This R&D team should be researching on stopping their non-biodegradable wastes. Yes, buy-back can be another option and that will mean these corporations will have to have a recycling facility. But I haven't heard of any large corporation having such facility. With the protests against them, let us hope they will realize doing so.

There was once when I cancelled all my grocery items when I forgot to bring my own bag and they are selling the eco-bag at what I thought was too much. But if we buy the eco-bag even at high price, it can be re-used over and over so the price will pay in the long run. That experience was a lesson learned for me. 😊

When you said eco-bag is very expensive, I was thinking about this kind of eco-bag.

And not this one which is like a semi-fabric type.

If you are referring to the red type then yes, they don't last that long but at least, they are biodegradable.
