This article presents a somewhat contrarian point that plastics isn’t necessarily as bad, and more environmental wins can be gained by focusing on other pollution vectors. For a more mainstream and negative view to balance it out, check out The Guardian’s “The plastic backlash”[0] published last month. One of the points in it I found interesting is that there was a semi-coordinated move by major corporations to reframe the plastic waste issue so that responsibility for the pollution is shifted from themselves onto the consumer (gets us busy worrying about recycling plastic rather than how we end up with that much of it in the first place).
