And instead we should continue to burn gasoline?
Your premise implies that he wouldn't have burned anything if he didn't burn plastic. This is largely false for most of the population. You're going to burn _something_ somewhere, whether coal or natural gas at the power plant or most likely gasoline in your car. You might as well burn things that need to be cleaned up anyway.
- tsimionescu 3y agoYes, we should absolutely burn gasoline before burning plastic. Plastic should be buried, not burned. Of course, ideally we should be riding electrified public transport consuming renewable energy instead of ICE cars - but not everything that's less than ideal is as bad. And burning plastic is probably one of the worse ways of powering a car. Maybe coal-powdered would be worse, but I wouldn't bet on it. The article itself how much more CO2 this art project produces compared to a gasoline car.
