  Plastics aren’t inherently bad. Just like anything else, it’s the misuse that makes them bad.

    Yeah, just a little pollution is okay as long as you don’t misuse it.

      There are a staggering number of varieties of plastics, and an insane number of uses for them that aren’t easily replicated with other known materials. Some of those plastics are much worse than others.

      Plastic is not inherently “pollution.” That’s not to say that plastics don’t make up a significant amount of the world’s pollution, but like literally everything in life, it’s not as simple as a black-and-white.

    It confuses me when someone thinks plastics are “bad”. It’s such a privileged, narrow viewpoint that ignores so many of the problems that humanity has overcome.
