    See, to me, those numbers just dont seem that bad in the scheme of things, annual medical waste in Victoria, Australia, is 3x that (Vic is a state of 7-8M people, we are pretty small). I bet the single use plastic shopping bags tossed annually dwarfs this by many orders of magnitude.

    Many phones dont support eSIM yet, so an individual switching means throwing away an otherwise fine phone, and that doesnt seem worth it to save on 1 credit card sized peice of plastic.
