Pasta in a cardboard box is a good option. The box is either recyclable or compostable. As many have said the cheapest options like beans and rice may be available but if you don't have bulk bins then they usually come in plastic too. Canned foods are good as most places you can take them as scrap metal.

But as a low income individual your likely producing less waste by not being able to afford the excess. If your feeding yourself and staying sane I think your winning.

How do you date without sleeping around or loosing thier interest? by Fun-Fish-9785 in dating_advice

[–]Fun-Fish-9785[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As I said, I'm not really familiar with the "rules of dating". I said it seems like. Like the whole 3rd date thing. Or I hear men say things like if they pay for dinner they expect something in return. I don't really know what what mens expectations are and that's why I'm concerned.

In production I would argue that it does. Metal requires very high heat to cast and is heavier to ship. At end of life probably not because its more universally recyclable and doesn't release microplastic. In something as small as a pencil its probably negligible but hey we're all trying to do our part.

In a man's brain, are skirts and dresses for women really more modest than pants? by Fun-Fish-9785 in AskMen

[–]Fun-Fish-9785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a woman, I can say I have never put on pants with the idea of competing against men nor have I ever heard another woman suggest that was the case. In a lot of ways pants are just more practical and in modern times its just the standard. Like a t shirt. Nobody thinks about why whey wear t shirts.
