    Surely the technology of the 21st century can come up with a replacement for plastic 6-pack rings. Carlsberg is the first.https://carlsberggroup.com/51746

        Make the beer stronger. By six times. Saves plastic, saves aluminium, saves the world.

        There are always alternatives to destroying the environment and killing wildlife but that would cut profits

        Not a bad solution. I try to help the environment by only drinking 12-packs of bottled beer.

        In capitalist theory: rules (for employers/money printers) are bad, profit is the only measure of efficiency and the health of the biosphere is an insignificant externality. But hey, the only alternative is North Korea.

        Do we even need six packs? Sell in units. Same price. Part of our problems is discounts on more volume. Inducing excessive consumption is just as damaging. Carlsberg ought to move everything to returnable and recyclable bottles.

        doesn't matter steven. half of the earth's wildlife has died since 1970. liberal democracy is dying around the world. capitalism will not find a way out of this mess. your fukuyamism is looking less and less like reality and more and more like ideology every year.

        There are already plenty of alternatives, but it's hard to beat the cheapness of plastic.
