I did a search and looks like we don't have an environment thread. Let's start discussing ways to save it, destroy it or whatever else.

Do you guys cut those plastic things that six packs of coke come in? Or in this specific example, it was an eight pack of Powerade.

I cut the shit out of them. Cuz I've seen videos of like a seal having it stuck around its neck and it just makes me so sad. I don't even know if me cutting it actually does anything but it can't hurt. It's plastic so it's probably going to wind up in the ocean.


If I don't make sure every single plastic loop is cut on one of those things before I throw it out, my OCD won't let me sleep at night.

That's not exaggerating. There have been a couple of times where I was lying in bed and started thinking that I may have missed the tiny little circular hole at the top so I had to get out of bed turn on the kitchen light and make sure it was cut before I could go to sleep.

When we buy soda, it's in a sleeve, which is a long box. If I buy canned beer, it comes with these hard plastic things, which are kind-of difficult to snap the cans out of.

I throw that plastic thing into the recycling, but wherever it ends up, I don't think it's a hazard.

I obsess over missing a cut. So I never do. I also usually don't buy the product packaged in that way if I can avoid it.

We don’t have a recycle pickup so I am going to town today to drop some off. Makes our trash container lighter taking it down the 200 foot driveway.
