Also P6 before they mention the cost of living crisis... I love craft beer but 10 quid a pint is tough to swallow when you're staying down an electricity bill that doubled in the last 12 months plus all your groceries went up by his knows how much
I'm happy enough to blame brexit but when it comes to discretionary purchases like craft beer i doubt it's even the main culprit... mind you I still drink it, but then I'm borgouis or something
Well then, from a purely business pov, it seems that what spoitfy should do is wipe these white noise casts, post some of their own (possibly from a subsidiary) and watch that extra 38mill roll in
Some examples: Parts of your chosen form of transport, a decent portion of your mobile phone/laptop/pc, bits of your shoes. The guttering on your home. The lining of your fridge
If you make a special effort to look for it, you'll find durable plastics all around you. Perhaps their ubiquity makes them disappear a bit
Ofc plastics can be made from sources other than petrochem and that needs to be pushed in the same way as alternative energy, but none are decently scaled yet
We need oil gas and plastics. Oil and gas in the short/ medium term (meaning 10-20 years) but plastics potentially for the foreseeable
we have alternative energy sources and so oil and gas should be (needs to be) the priority to wean off of but the scaling up of these needs to be properly managed
Plastics I do not see an alternative to as an end product, however it is possible to use "bio sources" to make plastic precursors so there's a route through there but the scaling is nowhere right now
Single use plastics are a viable target but durable plastics I think are with us for the long term
Schengen membership and no rebate are the 2 big ones aside from the euro iirc
If the EU are feeling particularly salty they might add the metric system but that's not a current condition of membership afaik
