They won't answer you because they wouldn't get to feel smugly superior if they did, because they should know that it is literally impossible to not use plastic

They won't answer you because they wouldn't get to feel smugly superior if they did, because they should know that it is literally impossible to not use plastics right now, and has been since the 90's.
Realistically, we should lobby for a total ban of single use non-biodegradable plastics worldwide, a tax on single use biodegradable plastics, and a superfund funded by that tax to clean up the world of plastics in every form possible.
If we can get 80% of it dealt with then the rest would take care of itself.
- everdrive 2y agoI'm sorry -- given the responses it's clear my comment didn't come across very well. What I was trying to convey is just what you're saying -- that wholly avoiding plastics is more or less impossible on the individual level, and broad societal preferences (cheap goods, easy manufacturing processes, high profits, etc) hold us hostage.
