If it's thrown in a landfill then that defaults into letting it decompose in some unknown way for thousands of years. If it's stored and we find a way to break down or reuse plastic, it's still around. We do need to cut down on everything "disposable" though. The planet cycles are circles not lines, there is no "away", what you mistreat will come back to hurt you later, line cannot go up forever, no infinite growth on a finite planet. These are lessons the smartest guys in the room refuse to learn because their ego has convinced them that human ingenuity is superior to every single problem that human ingenuity causes.
