this is disturbing in a good way. people need to see what their actions are doing. unfortunately most people dont care. most people want their microwave dinners and plastic grocery bags that they come in. the only way i could see this situation getting any better is to legislate the amount of plastic that is able to be produced in comparison to other more healthy options for our planet!

Plastic exists solely as a byproduct of the oil industry. Destroy the oil industry, and you destroy much of the plastic industry. Go electric..all the way... Generate this electricity with LFTR nuclear reactors (Google it) The technology is there, already. It just takes the political will.
