  I’m not judging but just FYI, those containers are terrible for PFAS. They shed those forever plastics into your food, and it’s really bad for you. Definitely don’t microwave your food in them.
context: How about packaging frozen veg in cardboard again like we had in the 70s and 80s. >
  
  Alot of people forget that plastic was implemented because it decreased how many trees were harvested each year, and used less fuel to produce than glass. The major downside to plastic is how it's handled in waste management. >
  
  Require the cardboard either be recycled or use sustainable tree farming.  Tree farms do in fact help the air quality more than if they didn't exist and we just use plastic instead. >
  
  Recycling does very little to help even when people actually do it. It alleviates consumption of resources in the single digit percentages. There were entire forests stripped away from 1940-1960 in the US for paper products. Tree farming takes up a lot of space and uses a lot of water. >
  
  It's completely disgusting how much plastic is used by restaurants in gig delivery.  Literally every item by some of these restaurants are packaged in their own container never to be used again.  I don't even buy bowls.  I just use what I've gotten from these places.  Often, they are objects durable enough to be used for years.  Delivery before the gig company hijacking of the industry was largely pizza and Asian based because it can be delivered in a  paper based container.  Most of the items that are delivered in plastic could be delivered in more ecologically sound ways that could and should be cheaper.  Many restaurants are victims of their own egotism.  "Their food" is special and it's necessary for it to be delivered in packaging that more maximizes temperature like plastic. >

  I get criticized for that. It makes me judge them back as wasteful and superficial. And to them I say: "No, I do not like fucking Bed Bath and Beyond!"
