    You can easily supercede plastics by inventing a better material. But no I’m not going to carry water in fucking clay pots.

    And if individually wrapped fruits means fewer of them end up in the dumpster then anti-plastic ideology would end up worse for the environement.

    If you want to do somethibg to reduce plastic, just end the fishing industry instead of forcing us all to use disgusting paper straws for symbolic reasons.

        Metal bottles need plastic liners not to conraminate and spoil their contents.

        Glass containers waste tons of energy from extra transport, to needing so much water and remelting when the inevitably chip and and break.

        We’re using plastic because it’s by a wide margin the best packaging material we have.
