As another commenter pointed out, you could (and people surely did) make the same argument about lead or asbestos. That alone doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.
- lukan 2y agoWe have clear evidence that asbestos and lead are very harmful. I don't think we have that evidence for plastic (yet). Also you totally can start buying plastic free clothes here and now. Just more expensive usually.
- atrus 2y agoPlus, plastics is a very very broad term. Saying "ban all plastics" isn't the same as saying ban lead, it's the same as saying "ban all metals".
- namibj 2y agoYeah, i.e., is rayon banned? Silicones (they're very different from all the classic oil-sourced plastics).
- soperj 2y agoSure we do, just look at the piles of clothing waste around the planet.
- lukan 2y agoIt was about health hazards.
