Plastic isn't just in packaging - it's in clothes, electronics, medicine, insulation, infrastructure. Undoing that won't be as simple as just "going back," but you're right - we do need to seriously rethink what's necessary vs. what's just easy
- nobodyandproud 2y agoStarting with the packaging is the easiest and most effective place to start. Clothing is an interesting problem; silk and wool can provide superior alternatives but are costly and so it’d be a shift into quality. That in turn requires a mindset shift away from changing trends every year to something perhaps more generational. Are the wealthy trend setters willing to do this?
- veunes 2y agoYeah, it probably does start with the trend-setters. If high fashion or influencers normalized re-wearing, mending, or timeless staples, the ripple effect could be massive.
