I mean I want to say I would be fine with banning plastic and just using paper/cloth/glass/metal/wood/stone for everything… but I’m not fully sure what I would

  Some things are really useful in plastic (like mechanical parts) but there's a lot that we could live without (replace as you said), even though it would be more expensive (short term). I'm actively trying to choose products with less plastic but it's becoming increasingly hard to find alternatives.

  I’m fine with plastic where paper can’t be used so long as we recycle it or return it to the ground where it came from. Glass seems great - until you learn that sand extraction might be the only thing worse in terms of habitat destruction than oil itself.

    Glass is one of the things we've gotten pretty good at recycling though which should cut down on the need for raw materials.
