This * 1000. The way things work nowadays is the supermarket chain doesn’t pay the cost of polluting the planet.

Every goddamn product is planed obsoletion so it can be cheap with a fat price margin and the customer has to keep on buying every couple of years.

Charge supermarkets for plastics and pay customers to return recyclable things and that’s a huge motivator to reduce landfill garbage in half.

I’m also a big believer that we need better robotics. When I saw Wall-E I just got super excited by seeing trash recycling robots.

Robots should be doing stuff humans don’t do, not replacing them. It shouldn’t be a zero sum game.
