The Age of Plastic

Plastic causing “disease and death from infancy to old age” that costs $1.5 trillion a year, report warns

Every time I go to Costco I see someone pushing a cart loaded with disposable plastic bottles of water. Why? Buy a filter for your tap and get the same result for a lot less. Why did people go out and buy all those fancy reusable water bottles if they going to buy disposable ones? Why can’t soda and beer come in deposit returnable bottles again?

If we are risking early death and dropping fertility rates, maybe some thing should be done. Like we did with with climate change. Oh, wait, I forgot, we haven’t addressed that either. Sometimes I forget that humans are stupid, selfish, wasteful and self destructive.
