"seep into the natural pristine streams and lakes, and totally fuck them up. Those waterways have been providing life to animals and plants for thousands (or possibly millions) of years, and now they're being ruined. It's like their purity is being tainted."
You know, iron can do the exact same thing.
Plastic being cheap is one of the reasons for using it. If you want to make something cheaply, you make it out of plastic. There is no reason to make bottles, for example, that are meant to be thrown away out of expensive materials, and, in modern America, there is no reason to make bottles not intended to be thrown away.
Exactly, back when people didn't have plastic they wouldn't dare make disposable bottles that were meant to be just thrown away afterwards, because that would be far too wasteful and expensive. So if we limited the amount of plastic we use, then we'd limit the amount of waste too. We could each carry a metal flash with us to work each day and fill it up in the sink, rather than buying plastic bottles of water.
Is it normal to hate plastic?
