Sure plastic aren't great for the environment when we're just dumping it out there without much care. Obviously reducing waste and reusing is what we should strive for on all fronts. Demonizing one thing results in overcompensation on the flip side and we know for a fact that that's not where we want to end up either. Remember when we tried to reduce paper use as much as possible because of deforestation? Or saturated fats?

No, I don’t. I do remember a push to recycle paper which was a net win for everyone.

> Or saturated fats?

Great counterpoint. Remind me of the benefits of having microplastics in your testes. Which part of that had scientists questioning historical data?
