A Cambridge University team made the device with simple materials using a paint sprayer—offering a possible dual fix for plastic pollution and dirty hydrogen production
One of the first steps to getting away from a disposable society is by advocating for more non-disposable container options, like glass
I am assuming I’m the only one around here old enough to remember when it was dangerous to go barefoot because of the preponderance of broken glass everywhere due to disposable society treating glass bottles and other glass products like they treat plastic today.
Glass doesnt magically make society non disposable. As I have said, repeatedly. Getting rid of plastic wont cure a disposable society, it will only just make whatever replaces plastic the new waste dejure to end up everywhere and threaten everything in its own new ways, until you fundamentally change society by having strict fines, personal repercussions, and public shaming. . as well as education and wide spread access of disposal receptacles, and a waste recycling system that doesnt just dump 90% of its collected recyclables into a landfill.
Everyone wants to keep hyper focusing on plastic, plastic isnt the issue. Plastic is just the fever. The fever isnt what is making you sick. its the appendix about to detonate in your lower abdomen, but everyone wants to ignore the appendix and hyper focus on the fever, because the fever is easy to see.
Glass doesnt magically make society non disposable
I know, I didn’t claim that. You seem to be arguing against using glass at all though, which is stupid.
I understand that it’s only a small part of the solution. But it is a part of the solution, and should be advocated for, even if we don’t have all the pieces of the rest of a perfect solution in place yet.
