No need for dichotomy here. Both types of pollution (heat trapping molecules and plastics) are waste from a consumption culture that doesn't think long term about material life cycles.

Let's not forget also that Plastics are "cheap" to consume precisely because they originate as by-products/waste-products of fossil fuel consumption. One consumption problem indirectly produces the other.
