I’m starting to think maybe there should be some regulation on plastic usage
Recycling isn’t a solution for plastic.
Welcome.
To plastic Island!
Uuu! Is that?
Why yes young lady, that is the legendary HDPE mountain!
Hey, how about if we just stop putting literally everything in plastic?
Alternatively, if we’re going to keep doing it (we will) - why can’t we just incinerate it like Japan?
Incineration, even in advanced plants like in Japan releases toxic fumes and is bad for people and environment. It also doesn’t address the issue of microplastics being released during the production and use of plastics. Let’s just stop it at the source.
Gee, I bet getting rid of the drinking straws fixed a lot. /s
Plastic was never intended for single-use packaging.
