You are concerned aboutplastics when refineries are on fire?

I am not happy for the environment but I see it as a justificable action by Ukraine.

Yes. For example if we have 10 million tons of crude oil in the ocean, it would still be bad to add another 10 tons into the ocean. War is bad enough for the environment, lets focus on killing the bad guys not destroying European nature.

Yeah Im all for the environment, just dont think having a view on a hypothetical prank during a war is necessary. It would have been easier to suggest confetti as an alternative and move on.

[–] zd9@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

It's the internet. Everyone has a strong, entitled view about every stupid inconsequential thing lol

But I always try to spread environmental info anytime it comes up. The environment and climate is by far the most important topic for me.

The world is drowning in plastic, like 10 years ago 90% of all plastic ever produced had been made in the preceding 10 years, and massive new plastic production has come online since then. Like this is a big problem it's not going away either. Recycling is worse than landfilling, they have Untold innumerable additives that are toxic and in recycling they get released into the air, and the Recycled product is worthless as well, they do it to say they did it because the pr campaign to foist the blame on to Consumers from the 90s or whenever it started.

Im not proplastic... it just not worth raising on a hypothetical relating to an active invasion and war for survival.

That is true, it's neither here nor there in regards to this war for survival, this war to refuse to be enslaved by the Imperial Rus.
