I gravitated towards the Greens, eventually even joining the party itself.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

Hell, if your watermelon bursts enough, you can put the pieces into your plastic bag together with the street dirt now glued to it.

I think the idea is that the watermelon burst, and the plastic bag allowed him to transport it without the fluids leaking. Which admittedly is like the one occasionally handy thing about plastic bags. Still not worth it, tho.

Please tell him that Rewe sells nice durable Einkaufstaschen aus recycled Kunstoff for 50 cents or something. They are wasserdicht and large enough for a Melone.

Die Begeisterung für Greta Thunberg erweist sich als Kehrseite des Populismus à la Trump: Beides wurzelt im Misstrauen gegenüber etablierten Eliten.

It's not even an article, it's a commentary written by an idiot. It's also full of factual errors, thanks to the author literally being Mega-Dolt.

Someone absolutely tore into even Grüne for the Umwelt policies they sell as "radical". Like lower CO2-Steuer than the Rückversicherer are fordering etc. So in a way it's true. If someone in power was actually doing something people wouldn't be looking to a teenager with correct opinions as the messiah

Why don't we just introduce a 10 cent plastic bag charge? That way most people will remember to bring an old bag to reuse and if you really need one you can still buy it.

Lmao I remember this one

Also, we already have a Plastiksackstrafgebühr hier in Switzerland, they’re no longer free. I admit that I do sometimes buy one, but it’s a very rare occurrence.

I don't think plastic bags were ever free in supermarkets, but you used to get them a lot in places like Müller or Karstadt or smaller shops. Nowadays you still sometimes get one, but it really depends on what you're buying and where.

In terms of CO2 and resource use, plastic bags aren't that bad by the way. The problem is where they go after you use them.

Come to Köln, all the grocery stores here have shopping baskets because the aisles are technically too narrow for shopping carts, so there's like 3-5 Alibi carts, total, that no one uses except for the Omas using them as Gehhilfen

I remember having to stop in Berlin once when I was traveling back home from Stralsund. There are some faint memories of walking into some sort of tiny fake supermarket at the main train station and seeing no shopping carts anywhere. To be fair, they wouldn't have fit the tiny aisles anyway.
