> put forth even minimal effort to contain our plastic waste! Partially agree, that minimal effort is to educate billions of people and governments around the world. And thus, I'll use your own words: > but good luck getting there --- > burn fuel and put carbon into our atmospheric well to move shit around, and we do that the least when we use plastic "we do that the least when we use plastic" - How so? > You may disagree, but putting more carbon into our atmospheric and oceanic wells is the #1 problem facing humanity right now by a mile and more plastic is a means to slow the rate at which we are doing that. 1st I do not disagree that reducing pollution is a priority. 2nd I don't see how "more plastic" leads to "slow the rate" of carbon production emissions. > research on why this is so dangerous. Interesting, can't give you the research because I don't have it. But I'll go with my gut feeling that this is very similar to the "forever chemicals" that increased general cancerinogenic risks chances world wide, but again, can't give any research, there might be some papers out there but I never searched for them. > plastic doesn't emit gamma radiation It does not, but it breaks down to unimaginable micro pieces of plastic that get scattered around naturally if not properly isolated. > most 'nature' is in the atmosphere Nature is everywhere and we should make an effort to solve this on all fronts. Not fix things on one side and make things worse on the other.
