I advocated for banning them because they’re polluting, unhealthy, and 500000 years of human history shows we don’t need them. That you insist we DO need them is probably false.

I’ll take your personal argument for why YOU use them - they’re easy and convenient - but it doesn’t justify their continued existence, any more than than the truth that “safely disposing of dangerous chemicals is expensive and inconvenient” justifies dumping them into lakes and rivers
