    Yes! This goes for so many things we buy on daily basis. I feel like it would be cheaper for the manufacturers as well so I'm not sure why there isn't a push for something like this everywhere.

    I've seen them but in tbe US the options are slim and not great. I'm hoping it gets better where I can get them in a store instead of being shipped. Thanks for the recommendation.

    The issues with plastic plague me daily. Just today, I was shopping on target for their "buy 3 household items, get $10 gift card" deal. Of course it's only certain items but definitely items I would use. First it was laundry detergent - this one cleans well but isn't very good for the biodegradable. This one is biodegradable but doesn't clean well. This one is both biodegradable and cleans well but comes in a plastic bottle. And it was like this for every item I tried to purchase. I never did end up buying anything because it wasted so much time trying to weigh my damn carbon footprint that I got distracted by life and forgot about it. Now I'm just too tired to go back and try to figure it out. Trying to be a conscientious person gets harder and harder every day.

    In this context, how can we differentiate the difference between trying to stir up drama and criticism? I honestly am not sure I agree with banning someone because they stated an opinion that criticizes Tildes. I believe if you care about something, you should be able to criticize it and want to make it better, even though sometimes it shows through frustration first.

    I signed up for Tildes awhile ago as well and am starting to use it due to the API issues with Reddit and so far it's been a great reminder of what Reddit used to be and I'm all for it. I've never really needed all the "features" reddit had but I've also never moderated a sub. I'm really hoping to stay a part of the community for the long term.

    Would the kids section from Patagonia work for you? I'm pretty short and I wear kids from Patagonia plus it's cheaper.
