MODERATORS
Their points aren't valid, though. The glasses are predominantly paper, and they're reusable. And the eclipse is a significant natural and cultural event that is also dangerous.
Their argument boils down to "buying anything is bad", and that is an empty, cynical stance that is fueled entirely by smug self-satisfaction, not concern for the environment.
They can do more to help by unplugging their shit and reducing the global electrical usage.
Lol reusable. Enjoy buying trash for 3 hours with the thought that it's reusable when you know you're throwing them in the garbage right after. Keep consuming peasent, keep consuming.
