  Disposable garbage cameras aside.. World population was around 3 billion in 1960s, now it is more than 8 billion. More people means more plastic is manufactured. Note: I dont say anything against recycling, in fact we should do it.

    Maybe we should replace plastic with aluminium where possible and reusable glassware

    Recycling just doesn't work for plastics. If anything, the only parts of the recycling system that are functional today are for paper, glass and metal.
