It's ridiculous to compare those two aspects. Nature delivers water which can clean a spoon. Last time i checked plastic spoons didn't grow on trees. Also (apart from laboratory's experiments) plastics do not recycle, water can be cleaned and food waste in it naturally decomposes. Comparing these things downplays the enormous energy, transportation and even water consumption required to produce plastic. Also you can describe anything with a few sentences. Just because it takes the same amount of words, doesn't make the process equally complex.
