    How is it weird? It’s not just you and me, it’s billions of people world wide.

    Also, don’t try to claim you know me or how much plastic I use. I work very hard to not use any unless absolutely necessary, this is one such time.

    Honestly, Lemmy has the weirdest takes at times. Aiming for better is not a bad thing to want, I thought given the balance of people here that being less wasteful would be a plus.

      I don’t know you, you’re right. But there’s just so many things you can’t buy without plastic wrappers. The one phone (which usually lasts way longer with plastic covers, plus it’s easier to repair. You kinda ignored that argument) is not putting a dent in plastic consumption. Plastic phones is literally aiming for better. “Premium feel” phones are anti-consumer and will generate plastic garbage either way, because you have to slap a cover on it.
