Good on him to own up to his mistake

So is this a product of courage to admit a mistake, or cowardice of caving

Pratt and Apple abandoning the headphone jack. Courage knows no bounds.

He needs to ride 20 hours straight on a Peloton as contrition

I agree it’s out of hand. I guess it’s good to point out the plastic problem though.

We produce and discard too much plastic. It’s bad for earth. To fix it, we

Yeah. I think that sums it up pretty well. Nicely said.

Assuming the existence of this in every grocery store is bad for the earth, what is an economically reasonable

For more people to use reusable bottles. That’s my very simplistic view.

The Dude Abides

12/6/19 2:58pm

I have no objection to addressing it, I just haven't seen a realistic, economically reasonable alternative. I don't

Why would you even acknowledge people upset about this?

He was called out by Jason Mamoa who I guess has since apologized for that link

groy

And why does that matter? Just ignore all idiots.

mwcoug

It was actually a good example of how people can apologize for differences.

Momoa has a canned water business

BigTex

They are.

Baron

Interesting. Hadn’t seen that. Seems like a great idea.

How is that a single use bottle? Does it have a hole in it so that it can't be refilled? Did he lose the cap?

Why assume he only used it once?

Jeremy

12/6/19 3:00pm

Two things that are simultaneously true: we should (collectively) work to reduce single use plastics.

I agree that single use water bottles are bad for the environment. But you're
