Disagree.
Firstly, lets clarify. I don't mean "stop making plastic entirely", that would be impractical and silly.
What we have not done as a society is make any effort at all to place a limit on how much plastic is created.
We likely have no mechanisms at all for knowing who makes plastics, the quantity they make, the purpose they are made for and who buys them.
Step one is to somehow get limits in place on the amount the is created.
Right now, plastic production is an absolute free for all. You could set up "The Infinity Plastic" company tomorrow and spew out so much plastic that it would completely cover the entire earth and that would break no law at all, no one would know or notice.
It stupid that as a society we are so obsessed with dealing with the output without any effort to control the input.
