That's great! Genuinely, I think you should keep doing that.

My point was not actually about plastic vs reusable. My point was, why is embodied energy always used in contrarian climate arguments. Why not talk about ergonomics, or the "bike waterproof-ness standard"?

I think embodied energy is being used in this article to push the author's specific views, which to fund atmospheric carbon extraction.
