It's nice to let us know, but where do you write? Especially since seeing your first messages on this post, you don't know much about it. We would forgive you willingly, if we did not feel a clear feeling of superiority in your speech.

Remember what Adam Smith said

It's good to have references, but there is a point where you can start thinking on your own (if you can). Especially when the said references date back 230 years.

The economic explanation is that “throwing” has no costs other than the trash bag

Another proof of narrowness. The argument is not false, but:
- There is a world outside of France (yes, yes) and in certain countries, the consequences of this "discovery" have been drawn for a long time and garbage is taxed by different means.
- We have already touched on this subject several times on this forum, then no need to lecture us.

largely inspired by popular socialist doctrines.

Obviously, when it comes to Adam Smith, the reference is precise and comparable to a word of the gospel. When it comes to leftist "doctrines", it is inevitably vague and contemptible. Fortunately this is only a "vogue" and the TRUE thought will triumph over this childishness. Ultra-liberalismus über alles.

In the living room. Thank you for your interest :).

It is true that when it comes to empirical data, techniques and pure science I do not know much. The best I can do is take my word for it or stay skeptical, but in general I don't really care. On the other hand, when it comes to how to manage scarcity, there I am in my element.

You're right. Everything that was said more than 6 months ago is necessarily false.

Again, a little further (and taken out of context);

"Quite simply because funding the garbage business through taxes is a painless and invisible way of benefiting the big polluters at the expense of those who make an effort for the planet."

You are right. I believe that freedom is the most ecological doctrine and that it naturally contains and secretes the antidotes against "pollution" and other great challenges which man will have to face. Are you against the environment?

I imagine that the little Germanic comment is to make a comparison with Nazism, am I wrong? Is freedom fascism? .... ???

Melt_Core must have gotten a little too close to Techernobyl ... English speakers will easily understand the joke for 2 cents ...

I may be getting on with it, but I think your reaction was a bit too large (on wrapped? : Lol:) Christina.

Personally, even if, like Lumberjack, I noted in the first messages of melt_core a lack of politeness formulas, I did not detect either "clear feeling of superiority", neither"narrowness"particular in its messages.

Now, I may be a little too naive and angelist ...

But no, Lumberjack, you know very well: like you I am part of the "techno-scientist econology sect" : Lol: : Lol: : Lol:

back to our packaging

Hello everyone !

I am new to the forum, which seems very interesting to me. I hope that you will be a little less hostile towards me than you were towards Melt core, because I have the impression that you went there a little strong ...
In short, concerning over-packaging, and the development of "single-dose" packaging, the consumer obviously has an essential role to play by boycotting this type of product. But let's be realistic: a general awareness would take years or even decades for the general public.

To speed up the movement - because I believe there is an emergency - it seems essential to me that the State legislate, that food manufacturers are prohibited from selling in "single doses" for example. Of course, there will be protest from the lobbies, or whatever. But wouldn't that be proof of political courage? Proof that the state still has the levers to act, even though we regularly criticize its lack of room for maneuver?
