The amount of people posting how "plant-based plastics" are the solution goes to show just how out-of-touch most of us are with being poor or stuck in an underdeveloped nation. It's easy to spend more on "sustainable" alternatives to plastic when you have more disposable income than you know what to do with. But if you're a low-income working class family, commodities like single-use plastics are a godsend. I'm not saying pollution is not an issue. I'm not saying the plastics industries don't have an agenda to make more plastic. What I'm saying is, you're all blind to the solutions that plastics provide to people who ARE NOT rich white Americans.
