You know that stores dont always sell cans, right?

Or maybe people have stopped recycling as much.

Or maybe the random places they did these studies have various other factors contributing to the disproportion of plastic waste.

This study has so much holes, you'd spend more time trying to get useful information out of it than just conducting a whole new study.

You were the one proposing alternatives. Now that everyone called you stupid for an objectively dumb suggestion, you double down on the opinion that people shouldnt buy it anyway?

What a joke.

Thats great! Next time when I go to my store and see a row of only plastic bottles, Ill think of how wasteful my next $2.50 is gonna be.

>If this study were to garner enough traction, coca cola and all would just take it apart on any serious forum.

Exactly. Bad data is more detrimental to the cause than less significant, good data. Because getting clowned on over basic data science is not the best PR for any cause that relies on being "pro-science".

You miss the point. People that "need" bottled water are the same people that just want easy access to good drinking water.

So just make the tap water fit those conditions and it would save infinitely more money than every city in the US having a water bottling plant.

Attempted solutions*

Bottled water was a solution to the failure of government to provide clean drinking water that was appetizing to their own citizens.

As long as this dumb solution works, no government official is gonna even attempt to look at the problem.

Its become r/all bait.

Find a piece of data that supports or acts as a call to action for people who browse r/politics daily and you have r/all bait.
