You cherry picked your examples. All of those things are simple to make regardless of material. Certainly you should vote with you dollar there and buy what makes most sense for your situation. I love using metal and wooden cooking utensils and never plastic myself. If we were to limit ourselves to only wood and metal there would be a lot of products both good and bad, that would most likely never have been invented. Tons of life saving medical devices, items that are hard to shape/mold using metal techniques. Of course everything could be made of wood and I don't know the science but I would think the cost to harvest wood might exceed that of the components of plastic. I might definitely we wrong there too but I just don't think its as easy as saying well we can make can openers and simple wooden implements so therefore its due to corporate greed we use plastic.
