Single-use/disposable plastics are just one prong of a larger culture of waste and consumption that has many limiting downsides like how we've been trained to buy tech gadgets that we can't even upgrade nor repair. Or how we are more likely to trash our pants than learn a simple life skill like how to mend a small hole. Or how less and less self-reliant we become. That it's cheap to bury our trash in the perfect, well-maintained landfill is a tiny consolation.
