The Soda Can Paradox ♼

Sanjaymon Sailas

Green Dreamer July 30

You sip from your biodegradable cup feeling eco‑conscious. Then toss it right into a landfill where biodegradable takes centuries. Meanwhile, that sleek aluminum can you recycled? It’s still spinning in a loop of reuse. Here’s the kicker, We chase zero‑waste packaging like it’s salvation, yet celebrate compostable cups that decompose slower than the plastic straws we vilify.

Ask yourself,Are we reducing packaging? Or just switching labels?Real #sustainability isn’t about shiny badges.It’s about designing packaging that gets reused or fully recycled (and fast), every single time.Because no matter how green your label, if we can’t close the loop, we’re still trashing the planet.
