It’s definitely the lesser of two evils:

Plastic clutters up the environment, killing and injuring wildlife

Paper is biodegradable and adds to greenhouse gases.

Bringing your own reusable bag mitigates these two but increases risk of food borne illness.

Plastic can be burned and turned into useful energy. Paper is made from cutting down massive numbers of trees.
@hippyjoe1955 How many plastic crosses do you have?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Such a witty riposte deserves to be ignored.
@hippyjoe1955 yep, I know. I didn't bring up the plastic island in the pacific, but that would be equally nonsensical... err. We need more islands
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@thewindupbirdchronicles There is no plastic island in the ocean. Do a better job of research. You just beclowned yourself.
@hippyjoe1955 I know it's as made up as covid, climate change..... and all those predictable things, clown. I get it's hard when you are becoming a dinosaur. Still not sure why you want to swear upon these by a cross. I prefer rationale conversation and admit I don't know anything, but that's what people who arent rigid in idea do, get it?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Ever wonder why the polar bears were chosen to promote global warming and why plastic in the ocean is seen as a major threat to humanity? Because both are very remote and cannot be easily checked. Ever heard of Dr Patrick Moore? He was one of the founders of Greenpeace. He wrote a book called "Fake Invisible Catastrophes and Threats of Doom". He also has several talks about this on Youtube. Give him a listen and read then get back to me.
@hippyjoe1955 Don't worry, your age comes with an expiry date like mine. You can overlook, just don't think everyone is jumping in joy hippy is saying this. Your explantation for the Great Lakes rising, I'm sure it's just cycilcal... bah, boring. Your risk is expiring, so your concern is following the same concern.
@hippyjoe1955 I'm not actually interested in your theories. To me, they are balanced on you needing to be right.

@thewindupbirdchronicles o you rely on conspiracy theories instead. Too Funny. Who needs science when you have the government telling you what to believe.
@hippyjoe1955 I know... the cold spell in Canada has nothing to do with science, La Nina. My mother's friend almost dying from covid, had nothing to do with nature. You are wasting your anger on the wrong things. I could give you technique how to talk, but you love to say how people are conspiracists
@hippyjoe1955 It does happen at time life becomes more than you can explain and some get angry.

@thewindupbirdchronicles Covid is a manufactured virus. Do try to keep up. (Not sure how that follows our discussion about plastics in the oceans. BTW my brother in law, my next door neighbour and a young man the attended my church all died from the vax.
@hippyjoe1955 You do know perspective informs reality or is that becoming dippy? And I'm a dipper fan
@hippyjoe1955 Sorry, I think you've let paranoia overtake sensibility.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@thewindupbirdchronicles I recognized you are not firing on all cylinders at the outset of this. Carry on.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@thewindupbirdchronicles Says the one worried about plastic in the ocean you can not see and someone you know almost dying from covid. Too funny!!! Pot meet kettle.
@hippyjoe1955 I was waiting for that... here's your heart 💙 It somehow changes the ones who were almost taken, how climate is changing.. your words. It's prophetic and beautiful, I should just see and bestow myself...
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@thewindupbirdchronicles Funny how you can't provide any evidence of your statements. Please carry on. We love laughing at your naivete.
@hippyjoe1955 Sorry I think you are carelessly caressing yourself with an old mind teaching yourself old language for your benefit, as maybe the new world doesn't work for you. It doesn't change things are a-changing.
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@thewindupbirdchronicles You have no evidence for any of your silly ideas. Carry on. You look like a complete goof.
@hippyjoe1955 Reality shown doesn't need evidence. The one objecting to what most call common truth is the one needs to provide references. But if you want to get stuck in the mud of conspiracy
hippyjoe1955 · 61-69, M
@thewindupbirdchronicles Reality is evidence. If you can't produce the evidence there is no reality. What colour is the sky in your world?
@hippyjoe1955 Dipper in colour, but I'm unable to know until you tell me... goof
