If anyone was serious about this issue there'd be stiff penalties for the companies that use these plastics. It should NOT be on the consumer to be FORCED into this position. It's just another thing the system wants us to be seen as guilty of when it's the system itself that pushes these products due to their cost savings.
Until then these plastics will still be used and in demand. Think about it, what good does it do if we avoid buying them when they'll just be throw away anyway?
What, do you think they just disappear if we DON'T buy them?
Talk about gaslighting the general public.
