Liquid soap bottles. What a waste!

Why do so many households have these squirty soap bottles? Whatever happened to old good soap bars?

All these plastic bottles of liquid soap do is contribute to landfill. So not only is their waste something we have to think about, but what about the production of these bottles? All you have to do is take apart the pump dispenser and you will see how complex it is. What a waste to the environment.

I only buy soap bars and it is increasingly difficult to find them in local supermarkets. When i do, they are usually stacked on the bottom shelves, because of course, they are cheaper and last longer ... something that retailers don't like.

Too lazy to shake your umbrella? Disposable plastic sheaths are the ultimate folly

First the dispensers of disposable plastic sheaths appeared in shopping malls and office towers, now even facilities directly managed by government departments, such as museums and libraries proudly display them.

Before the appearance of these condoms for dripping umbrellas, people used to shake their brollies, or put them in the nylon sheath that comes with any umbrella you buy. Not anymore. If you are too lazy to shake it, you can slip it into a disposable plastic cover every time you enter a building. Multiply this action several time, and imagine millions of people doing the same, and you have a mountain of plastic waste to dispose of in a landfill. Not to mention the environmental impact of producing all those plastic sheaths.

Environmentally-irresponsible decisions are made everyday by people who don't think about the consequences of their actions.
It's even more annoying to see that taxpayers' money is used to pay the salaries of people who should know better.
