James Stumpf designed a see-through toaster that lets you watch your toast get toasty. It features sustainable materials like glass and bamboo, contains no plastic, and has fast-cooling coils so you can reach in and pull out the bread as soon as it’s done. Source

I bet there actually is plastic in this. Just small amounts in ways you wouldn’t expect.

I mean I love the idea of a see-through toaster, but don’t taint it by trying to be a hippie and going “ITS FREE OF PLASTIC”. It’s not free of plastic unless absolutely zero plastic went into the production process. S’like claiming electric cars are ecofriendly when they run on a bunch of things you can only get by strip-mining and have to be shipped here from overseas by boat- the most-polluting method of shipping things.

Just let me watch my bread become toast without polluting it with half-right-half-wrong political notions, please. I mean saving the environment’s important but having a “plastic free” toaster is not saving the environment.
