Last time I was at my recycling center, I asked the worker where to put a "recycle this like a box" mailer, and they said they don't take them.

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

UGH NO

[@MinimalJello]

Yes!! Finally someone said it carbon offsetting seems like greenwashing.

[@TheSimpleEnvironmentalist]

IT IS!!!!! it is the literal bare minimum a company can do AND IT'S A TAX WRITE OFF!

I hate Amazon. I try to avoid them at all costs if I can. Right now I'm trying to order these filters for my reverse osmosis. I've looked and have reached out to other companies, but scamazon is the only place that unfortunately carries them. Both my partner and I have tried ordering this product multiple times and have sent it back multiple times because no matter how many times we tell them they have whatever labeled in their system wrong they keep sending us the "correct" replacement. I'm 1) mad that I can't get the product that I do very much need right 2) how much wasted gas from them delivering and us returning the item. 😵‍💫 As wasteful as it may be I'm ready to replace my whole filtration system at this point just so I can make finding these filters in the future simpler (and not through Amazon). Also yes please on a greenwashing video 🙏

ugh I feel you! some of our RV parts are only sold on there too. I think it's okay to buy necessities on there when it's the only option but this is mostly to dissuade people from impulse shopping on amazon
