Plastic wouldnt be produced by the megaton for disposable packaging, water bottles, etc, if we didnt have a disposable society. The waterways wouldnt be full of plastic trash and contamination if we didnt have a disposable society. See, this is the problem with humanity. It always wants to hyper focus on the surface issue, and adamantly refuse to acknowledge the deeper, subsurface issues that made them sprout to begin with. Because humanity struggles to care about that which it can not see/easily acknowledge. Plastic is a big, visible problem everyone wants to deal with, but dealing with a disposable society? Thats to hard to think about. Thats too uncomfortable. That might affect me, personally, in an way that annoys me, so we just gotta keep soldiering on and ignore that.

    Plastic isn’t durable. Eventually it degraded to UV and needs to get thrown away. The solution is to use paper and glass, not plastic, where possible
