I feel like without plastic as a cheap and versatile material we wouldn't have many of the problems we have now, but we would have many other problems and technology would be much less evolved. Which, yes, is not always a bad thing. However, isn't plastic an important part of solar panels or a lot of medical equipment (like for intravenous therapy), for example? (If it's not, please correct me.) That said, now it is definitely time to start figuring out alternatives.

The first synthetic plastic was patented only 110 years ago. It sure made it's way into everything fast. Some 90% of the plastic that makes it's way into the oceans comes from countries with a very poor standard of living in Africa and Asia. Perhaps the most effective way for the average American to reduce ocean plastics is to support charities that work to raise the standards of living and education in these areas. Side note: Your canned food likely contained a plastic lining.

@@gayfurry5287 A prismatic rear-view mirror-sometimes called a "day/night mirror"-can be tilted to reduce the brightness and glare of lights, mostly for high-beam headlights of vehicles behind which would otherwise be reflected directly into the driver's eyes at night. This type of mirror is made of a piece of glass that is wedge-shaped in cross section-its front and rear surfaces are not parallel. On manual tilt versions, a tab is used to adjust the mirror between "day" and "night" positions. In the day view position, the front surface is tilted and the reflective back side gives a strong reflection. When the mirror is moved to the night view position, its reflecting rear surface is tilted out of line with the driver's view. This view is actually a reflection off the low-reflection front surface; only a much-reduced amount of light is reflected into the driver's eyes. "Manual tilt" day/night mirrors first began appearing in the 1930s and became standard equipment on most passenger cars and trucks by the early 1970s.

Candle is plastic (stearin, paraffin), the transparent lacquer on wood is plastic (even oil finish becomes a plastic over time due to polymerization), paint on walls/wood/items is pigments in a plastic carrier (even oil based paints turn into plastic when it cures due to polymerization). There are very few exceptions to ceramics and/or metals that are not plastics. Wood/cotton/plants etc. consist of cellulose (all plant based lifeforms do) which is a bio-plastic or bio-polymer depending on how you define it.

Making disposable products of it isnt bad, but locations that do have disposable plastic products need to have a good plastic gathering system already. Having no way to dispose disposables is always bad. I mean, glass has been disposable for decades and a glass container is nearly everywhere. Almost every household is in a walking distance of a glass disposal. Plastic on the otherhand, does not have that. I think we can reduce 75% of the plastic pollution by simply having easier ways to dispose plastic.

I mean, my country is on the lower end of unrecycled, unprocessed plastic waste, but still has about 0.5 tons of plastic pollution on a yearly basis. It is easier, more conveniant and a lot cheaper for the average person to throw plastic trash carelessly in the middle of the city. There are more glass containers, even though glass as a waste product only exists in alcoholic beverages. There is 150x more plastic waste in weight, than glass waste. Yet every new neighbourhood, every 1 square kilometer, there is at least 1 way to get rid of glass. Replacing disposable plastic with non-plastic takes a lot more time, effort and money than simply creating an easier way to dispose of plastic.

youre doing a great thing for humanity. Showing how plastic is literally everywhere in our culture is a great wake up call that there are so many better alternatives. The cheapness of plastic is no longer an excuse! using plastic to increase consumption and for saving a couple dollars for big companies is no longer worth the suffering we are inflicting on our planet, the lifeform that has provided us with natural materials to survive with for all of human history until now.

SpaghettiToaster The problem is that some of the plastic ends up in the ocean anyway through littering and birds picking up material from garbage dumps. If it’s possible to reduce the amount of plastic with minimal work or expense (like using single use items multiple times) it’s a reasonable thing to do.

@@rkan2 I view it more as follows. "Oil is a resource that we should not be using, from the pollution of the air we breath to the oceans we swim and the salt we eat. We're killing animals, the environment, and even ourselves due to our incessant usage of a slightly more convenient material/energy source." No doubt oil is useful, and we kinda do need plastics for a lot of stuff, but we shouldn't be making single use plastics and other things that ruin the environment. If we just recycled, instead of throwing all of our garbage in a hole and burying it, we'd be so much better off. I'm sure we could save literal tons of scrap metal and plastic, and use the other organic matter for compost and the like. Besides, there are better energy sources, like nuclear and solar. I'm sure taking responsibility for our actions is a long way off, if it ever happens at all.

Plastic bags can easily be used 10-20 times before they start to break. The alternatives for plastic bags affect the environment a whole lot more than the plastic bags, but of course in a different way. There's a hell of a lot of things where plastic is unavoidable, like food wrapping to prevent spoilage. The other option is to limit food variety and have food spoil very fast, which I guess could lead to shortages in stores since they don't want to waste their bought food.
