I know they’re supposed to be good for the environment but… God I hate those caps.

…then it scratches my cheek.

Why is it so hard to understand that a useless piece of plastic in your face might be unpopular?

If that’s the biggest annoyance in your life, I want your life!

It’s not, and it’s disingenuous to imply that this is what I wrote.

You’re building a straw man.

I guess because I’ve got used to it now and it’s entirely a non-issue in my life, I wouldn’t say it scratches my cheek at all.

If it means less microplastic in the sea, I’m all for it

And even that is dubious.

How many of the caps are actually reaching the ocean and is that actually a way to reduce that?

I mean, how about a European refund system? Works perfectly fine in Germany and actually makes recycling a bit easier?

These caps are empty gestures as I described above.

I can’t see how attaching them wouldn’t increase the rates at which they’re recycled.

You can believe this was never a problem perhaps, but then you’ve got to wonder why the change was made—no one is gonna profit from the design of bottle caps changing, so what’s the motive for the change if it’s not a problem? Contrary to the somewhat common belief, politicians tend to try and not waste time on useless legislation.

A refund system costs money, this change basically doesn’t.

Less plastics on your streets, in your yards, and fields, is also an important goal
