    So, over the course of the lifetime of your phone, you’ll have bought and disposed of a couple of 1000x the amount of plastic. This is a really weird take, man.

    The lifetime of a plastic phone will likely be longer too, because metal and glass are a shit combination. Plastic phones make repairs easier too.

      How is it weird? It’s not just you and me, it’s billions of people world wide.

      Also, don’t try to claim you know me or how much plastic I use. I work very hard to not use any unless absolutely necessary, this is one such time.

      Honestly, Lemmy has the weirdest takes at times. Aiming for better is not a bad thing to want, I thought given the balance of people here that being less wasteful would be a plus.
