I just found it funny to complain about plastic use in a community where everyone is making plastic things. Seemed kind of ironic to me. Like, every spool you buy comes in a huge single use plastic bag. I feel like if you were THAT concerned about it, you wouldn't be 3D printing in the first place.
I agree with you about the approach. Feels like people just love to judge. We all balance things in our own way. I very rarely use those bags; I put my leftovers in reusable containers, but I have them for the occasional need and I like to organize. And of course, it's not needed, but 3D printing isn't really needed in most cases either.
