minus-squareEveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·11 minutes agoMight be less coffee but it’s not just the coffee that’s the waste; it’s all the extra plastic that each one of those K-cups uses. Plastic often lasts centuries (at least) to biodegrade and even then animals try to eat the waste and then die horribly.
