Comment on I'm sure people fall for this type of greenwashing all the time...
Fluffy_Ruffs@lemmy.world 1 day agolol this thinking right here contributes to the problem. “The bigger bottle HAS to be better, right?”.
If people would stop and read to see what they’re spending their money on, we wouldn’t be buying larger quantities of mostly water-based products in favor of more concentrated versions.

See my reply to the other guy above. I was applying the logic (possibly flawed) to how food is sold: 900g of pasta is more food than 750g of pasta, regardless of the difference in packaging. If you need 900g, then you’d need to buy two of the 750g, which is even more wasteful.
But I guess my problem is that they are comparing two different products, in two different quantities (loads per bottle), but linked together with how much plastic and water they use.
They didn’t make the same product with less plastic or water, it’s a new product with the same label.
