Why Reusable Water Bottles Aren't Decreasing Plastic Waste

[@immyownperson1375]

Just buying more products and people still buy disposable to fill them up when no such thing as safe refill stations exist.

People also buy reusable bottles because they keep the beverage cold longer... and hence it makes sense that they don't care about cutting down their plastic bottle usage.

I was going to make a joke it's because we're just pouring the bottled water into our reusable ones, and then you said that's part of the actual reason, and now that's not funny and pretty pathetic, and sad.

This is so insane

Convenience verses looking cool ... yup, that's us American airheads.

And sadly too many others are following suit.. 😐

We need higher taxes on disposables. Plastic is simply too cheap.
