We are kind to the environment – so is my ass…

At an unnamed takeaway food shop I noticed a sign saying “We are kind to the environment”.

I also noted the following:

Their food was wrapped in aluminium foil – aluminium found by digging the earth for the metal and made in a smelter run by coal or gas

The food was then placed in a paper bag made by cutting down the forest

The register was run on electricity – generated by a power plant run on coal or gas

The food was paid for by plastic, plastic made of or from crude oil, gas or coal (https://www.thomasnet.com/articles/plastics-rubber/how-is-plastic-made/)

On the way out I thanked them for caring for the environment.

They said “our pleasure”.
