Good on him to own up to his mistake

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

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.

What is the plastic problem and how should it be solved?

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.

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

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

They are.

You're wrong. Mamoa is Aquaman and he's super upset that Star Lord and the other Avengers for letting the universe

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

Why assume he only used it once?

Jeremy

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