To save on water, I stopped cleaning dishes and bought paper plates

[BigBallinChester]

Me being an enviromently friendly person decided to help save water and buy paper plates. Washing dishes uses valuable fresh water and by using single use paper plates I can save on water and just throw them away.
What did you do today to help save the Earf

And how horrible for the environment paper making and recycling is...

Recycling is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Unless it's metal.

Most paper products in the US are being sourced form renewable forests that were planted in the 90's for the purpose of being used for the paper pulp industry. They replant as they clear and come back in 30 years.

Just get a dog and let it lick your plates clean.
Clean your dishes and feed your dog.

Table scraps are really bad for doggoes.

I drove a big V8 muscle car from the 1960s today. And by keeping it running it doesn't need to be melted down in a dirty recycling process or have scrap rotting in a dump.

I'm saving the environment by reusing things that have already been made decades ago, and not contributing to destruction of the environment by giving in to rabid consumerism of disposable "green" products or environmentally unfriendly cars like "electrics" that involve strip mining of rare earth materials and massive amounts of chemicals just to make them, let alone when they are charged with coal power plants, only to have to replace their deadly chemical filled batteries 5-10 years later that often cannot actually be recycled without producing even more pollution.

Maintaining something reliable is always going to be better than just buying a "new" thing if you really want to reduce your impact. Certain things should be bought "FOR LIFE" and not need an upgrade or new one every few months/years. So few people ever factor in the processes involved and pollution from recycling old things and then manufacturing new things.

Agreed.

Would they have their kids lick family plates clean?
Gross -but green-er.

Bro all that sewage water can still be treated you're not saving anything.

Not quite. The sewage water eventually makes it's way to the ocean. It is not recycled into a usable area. It takes hundreds? Thousands? of years to make it back to the groundwater. There have been ideas to pump the output from the sewage plants back into the groundwater or reservoirs. Few people like that idea. Too icky sounding. Methinks there would have to be more oversight on the treatment plants to do that. Old time backyard septic tanks did replenish the ground water.

Paper plates processed from pollutant factories and produced from one of many places of deforestation. Way to go modern man, you've defeated world hunger.

The bagasse plates I use come from sugarcane pulp which is sustainable since it rapidly grows and doesn't take much space and definitely doesn't contribute to deforestation, The palm oil industry is the bigger contributor to that.

Some would argue that recycling toilet paper is un-wholesome too, but I encourage you to pursue your dreams. Even if they are disgusting & stinky.
