    Yes fuck plastics. 90% of shit nowadays doesn’t need to be made from it. You can instead use Stainless Steel, Aluminum, Copper, wood, glass, cotton, bamboo, cardboard, paper, etc

    Plastic recycling has been a sham for as long as it’s been around. If you put plastics in a ‘recycle’ bin, assume it will end up as landfill.

    At the very least, it’s better to put it in landfill than into the ocean or into our bodies.

    But the way I see it only things like medical or emergency equipment should be allowed to use plastics if it means the item is cheaper and will save lives. But otherwise, fuck plastic, companies should be forced to use alternative materials instead.
