Plastics are a terrible alternative. I’d like to see the amount of plastic reduced by 95%+. It’s way over used and it’s extremely harmful to life. It’s being tied to various cancers and it just doesn’t biodegrade. Our oceans and waterways are being choked of life from plastic.
We have the technology and ability but we’d rather tilt at windmills and surcharge our way to suicide.
Plastic is also being attributed to low testosterone and decreased taint size in young men. It's estimated the average American now consumes between 1/2 to a whole credit card equivalent a month in micro plastics found in our food. Tucker Carlson wrote a new book about it.
