This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Eh, plastic plates:

  • don't shatter when you drop them
  • don't chip
  • don't screech when cutting things with a knife

Plastic isn't the enemy, single use plastics are.

Plastic is the enemy. Not just single use plastics. But all unnecessary plastics. The micro plastics disrupt food chains. They also get into food. It's not great. They get everywhere with no chance to decay.

Sure, microplastics are certainly an issue, but the vast majority of them come from other sources, like clothes and tires. Things like multi-use plastic plates don't even register on the list of sources.
