      Idk about other countries but there’s like several generic supermarket alternatives to sodastream in all bigger shops here, and idk who the fuck would buy the overpriced sodastream brand co2 when most markets sell a generic brand bottle for half the price.

      So at least here it doesn’t have a majority of the market. Perhaps the largest share, but I don’t think the majority.

    People keep mentioning Drinkmate, and it sounds fine but I’ve never heard of it- in Europe you can get the Aarke which is essentially a (I believe) Danish clone, interchangeable bottles etc

    OK, but…that entire tank contains less CO² than the average car emits every kilometre. I don’t think soda stream are contributing massively to global warming. The fact that it’s an Israeli company with a history of exploitation of Palestinian labor, complicity in settlement expansion, and continued violations of Palestinian human rights, is a very good reason not to use it.

    Edit. Oops, worked that out from the assumption of 60L of CO², closer inspection shows 410g, which would be around 3.5 KM.

    Edit 2. The average person breaths out more than twice this amount of CO² a day. Perhaps being complicit in genocide is Soda Stream being carbon neutral?

      I think the loss of human lives at a large scale will eventually bring a new earth cycle to normality. It may not be the same ecosystem that it was, but it might be stable with humans being less of an infestation. This may be virus or starvation. We’ll all see soon enough.
