I’m not really losing my mind. But seeing so much plastic and not being able to talk about it is weighing heavily on me.
Plastic is everywhere. Literally everything comes packaged in plastic. Most of the stuff is made from plastic. It’s not gonna biodegrade. Can’t incinerate it either. It’s sent to landfills. It chokes birds, cows and seahorses to death. There are literal islands of plastic trash in the ocean. It’s even inside us as micro (soon to be macro) plastics.
Meanwhile corporations have gaslit the world about the wonders of recycling. Plastic is very dear to them because it is even cheaper than it is convenient. Only 30% of the plastic produced in India is ever recycled.
I feel like in the future plastic is gonna have to be tossed into the space or some shit like that.
Yea. Honestly we need to bring back glass bottles and metal bottles for this exact reason.
