“issue. Glass has four times the environmental footprint of plastic.8 So swapping out a single disposable plastic drink bottle for a disposable glass drink bottle will only serve to increase your environmental impact. Glass recycling still faces many hurdles and is not as simple as the ‘infinitely recyclable’ tag line it comes with. Glass breaks easily in garbage trucks and is frequently dumped in landfill because broken glass is not sorted for recycling.”

“The cost of disposable packaging is hidden in the price tag. You’re paying for much more that you realize. When you buy a jar of Nutella, you’re paying for Nestle’s marketing department, advertising, corporate salaries, and engineers who built the factory. You’re paying for the silica that was mined and melted to make the glass jar. If you were to make your own Nutella (which is pretty easy and fun), all you are paying for are the raw ingredients.”

“A great hoodwinking of the 20th century is how corporations got us to believe that ingredients mixed together by corporations and sold in branded disposable packaging are superior to the raw ingredients gathered and mixed ourselves.”
