    Yea, I'm not quite sure either. I guess the best thing to do is just keep posting - perhaps we could start posting old start pages and linking to the creator's Git Hub as a way to build content here.

    Yes but usually bananas are charged by weight so you can even split and take half a good bunch and half a green bunch..

    One thing that shocked me about living in Asia was the amount of plastic and individually wrapped fruit...sometimes double or triple-packaged.
    You will even occasionally buy a pack of Oreos and inside the package, each Oreo is individually wrapped. I don't know why it's so normal to use so much plastic.

    This was in Singapore btw - the country that's supposed to be 'green' by 2030.

    When Singapore announced it would be getting rid of one-use plastic bags, there was a huge uproar. My colleagues at the time would ask how they are supposed to carry groceries back home. When I mentioned they can bring a reusable bag, they were like "It's so much trouble to carry bags to the store when they can just provide them!"

    Of course, not everyone had this mentality, but the people against this new policy pretty much said the same word for word.

    Not to mention, there are ZERO composting programs in Singapore. Maybe you can find one mom-and-pop shop that has a compost box where you can bring your waste, but again - most people don't drive, and bringing your trash on public transport definitely won't fly.

    I hope they reach the green goal by 2030, but they have a LOT of work to do in the next 6.5 years...

    I wanted to say, I only found this by asking in a subreddit how to find this page. I had no idea about this page until then, and the original subreddit is private. I suggest that the mods at least send a message to subscribers on reddit, at least people will know more about the move.
