More plastic is always good, right? Who doesn’t love plastic? Who wouldn’t love more plastic?
Sidenote: Answering the above two questions in any way will result in legal measures commencing via the Plastics Industry. Any references to Plastic being in any way “bad” are an existential threat to their business, and will be treated as such. You have free speech to discuss your love of the plastics industry, but any speech contrary to its goals of continual, forever-growing profit, will be met with aggression. When free speech runs contrary to profit, profits win.

Big plastic wants to switch everything to plastic, from tires (blended in) to floss to packaging to clothes. It’s kinda wild how much stuff that was wood/glass/paper/foil/metal/wax/cardboard 10-20 years ago is now all plastic.
