not to mention it doesn't matter where it goes, most plastic can't be recycled or is not efficient to recycle it. Really need to just not use plastic as a whole
Easy in principle, tough in practice. Plastics are extremely useful in a huge range of applications.
sure, but do we really need plastic wrapped apples
My testicles agree 👍
Yeah plastic is great for a lot of stuff. Car parts, backpack clips, buttons, trash cans etc. But one time use plastic is EVERYWHERE.
Right? Why do gatorade and pedialyte bottles have to be in crazy over engineered compared to cheap crinkly water bottles? Both one time use which isn't ideal but thinner bottles would save the company money right?
I wonder if it's a psychology thing, like having a high quality bottle means people thing whatever is inside is equally higher quality?
