Your energy accounting and waste source/destination issues are just the top of the iceberg. The elephant in the room is the plastic.
- skohan 5y agoYeah and haven't microplastics been found in basically every organism by now? I feel like this is something which we may look back on like lead in 30 years.

You'd need science to back up a feeling like yours otherwise you're probably just regurgitating what popular opinion has indoctrinated you with and that's whatever's widely emotionally satisfying to believe.
- skohan 5y agoOh sure, I'm just speculating. But if you always waited for concrete evidence to conclude that something might be a risk, you would have may have been wearing hats coated in mercury in the 19th century, and eating of uranium-infused plates in the early 20th century.
