Yeah I get what you mean, but in terms of our homes and possessions, it's better for our immediate environment to somewhat resemble nature. It has a positive effect on our mental health.
I'm not saying nature won't survive, but a lot of it could be destroyed nonetheless. We shouldn't be content with destroying all the beautiful natural landscapes around us, just because nature as a whole will eek out a survival somewhere.
Yeah I know plastic can be made to be strong, but in a lot of cases where it's used as a replacement for the original traditional materials used to make an object (like wood or metal), it's usually much weaker and more prone to breaking. Things like plastic bags/bottles, furniture and children's toys for example (as well as just small plastic components of larger objects).
Plastic saves trees. Honestly it does, products that use plastic used to rely on paper and wood products much more. Plastic recycling or turning it into petrol are both supported.
Yeah but there are better ways to save trees than by using plastic instead of wood/paper, like by reducing the amount of meat we eat (since the majority of the rainforest deforestation is actually done in order to create grazing land for cattle). Saving trees by using plastic is just swapping one problem for another.
Hahahaha all you can do is stop eating meat. Forcing people to stop eating meat is wrong as fuck. So that problem wont be solved in any non authoritarian way.
Sometimes theres no perfect solution thus far it seems that plastic is the better option. Any problem arises the more people work to find a solution. Finding a work around is the better option than cutting back on it. Since making a work around actually makes new things. Cutting the flow just delays the problem and we go back to the old problems.
Coal plants causing too much pollution? A static trap was invented to contain 99.9% of the pollution. By your logic closing down coal plants was the solution.
I'm not talking about forcing anyone, I'm talking about encouraging them. I also didn't say stop eating meat, I said eating less meat, it doesn't have to be an all-or-nothing scenario.
My solution in that case would've been to use other sources of energy than coal, such as wind, hydro and nuclear. It's better to solve the problem properly rather than to just find a temporary quick fix, even if it is less prosperous for us in the short term.
Is it normal to hate plastic?
