Who would have guessed that disposable capes would be a MASSIVE waste issue? Think of all the plastic and REMs and other tech shit that is produced just to be thrown away from this garbage.
And they get away with it simply because they're super heroes, bastards!
No Capes!
LOL Autocrorect really fucked me there, huh?
Not all heroes wear capes.
And we see the issue partly with the regular tabacco products.
Cigarette butts everywhere BUT they are small, can be easily ignored and disposed off or cleaned by the waste crew.
Those things are basically 10x the size alone, made from plastic (the butts are too but can be more easily cleaned) and have precious metals inside.
