spankmonkey@lemmy.world 2 weeks agoSaying they are committed to producing no rubbish on a sign, then selling things that result in rubbish, is hypocritical.

Do you have an example of something that would be sold that had no resulting rubbish?

Bread comes in a package. The soup that goes in it had a container….

Food that comes on reused plates and/or drinks in reused cups. Much of the advertising around littering prevention was developed by industries who saw profits in creating a lot of single use items that wanted to shift the blame for any litter to individuals instead of them. When you see an empty bottle of Pepsi floating in a pond, Pepsi deserves more criticism than whoever dropped that specific bottle since they are the ones who brought it into the world, and they do it on a much larger scale than any 1 person could ever manage.

The food all came in packaging, and stuff breaks or gets dropped, nothing is ever rubbish free…

If you are a business generating rubbish, it is your moral responsibility to account for that rubbish. The business selling stuff doesn’t have their employees filling their pockets with the bulk food packaging rubbish at the end of the day to dispose of at home; they have their own bins. They just don’t want to be responsible for all the rubbish they generate cause it costs them more money than trying to put that responsibility on someone else.

No, which is why it’s stupid to take bins away from stores/cafes.

I don’t see a cafe in the picture? Are you sure this isn’t down the trail and the cafe still has a garbage…?
