Not sure if people realize that Lego has spent a lot of money to engineer a recyclable Lego brick that has the same exact quality as the old ones that they want to get rid of specifically for the environment. The only next best thing to this would be to shut Lego down.
Nope, not good enough. No more plastics, anywhere, ever.
I had someone on here tell me unironically that buying an electric car for my next car and recharging it off solar power on my house was just as bad as driving a gas guzzler everywhere due to microplastics from the tyres and the carbon cost of manufacturing the car.
I think some people on Lemmy won't be happy until life is loincloths and spears again.
There's a lot of astroturfing with regard to EVs unfortunately.
