13 days agoThe amount of plastic waste we generate is ridiculous. Walking into a store at the mall, theres walls, racks and containers of crappy toys, stickers and knicknacks that only an old person, who isnt familiar with what theyre kids like, would buy. As far as i could tell, at least 60% of it would probably end up being burned or landfilled without ever being sold to a consumer. Who is going to buy a shitty little rubber generic controller keychain? Or 5000 funko pops. Or a 600$ gameboy game
