I never buy eggs. I don't eat them. However I have a recipe I'd like to try, that requires an egg.
In the supermarket, small shops, and even the small farm shop I looked in, they come in minimum packs of six. If I buy six, five will be wasted into the bin.
Surely there's somewhere that will sell me a single egg? I'd have thought the farm shop would but nope.
Or if not, is there something I can do with the other five other than eat them?
If they do say "but it's solar", then that's greenwashing. All power consumption has an opportunity cost: that solar could have gone into the grid and offset some coal power, but instead it's wasted which means more (or at least.. "not less") coal usage somewhere else. wasting power isn't fine just because it was renewable. By that logic we could plug all the solar panels in the world into electric space heaters and waste all the power and that would just be fine since "it's solar".
