If you want to reduce plastic consumption, just don't use it. But I bet you use a phone, computer, desk, eye glasses, wallet, clothing, etc., all made from the environmental destroying resource.
If you don't like addictive carcinogens, don't take them. Or is it your job to save humanity by banning it for everyone, or people of a certain age?
I have plenty of concerns, but I don't dare force them on the masses because of my own efforts of good faith. Change starts with you.
But here's a question... if plastic and nicotine and maybe other things like alcohol are so bad, why not just outright ban them (prohibited) instead of just limited to reduced consumption? It's b.s. legislation meant to signal virtue to the constituents. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
On a side note, trying to put a label into one or two buckets is very short sighted.
I fondly recall a situation while at a startup, with a room full of engineers.. we were all in a slack channel, and a contractor working on an infrastructure project began asking a question... in parts...
I almost died, watching several people in the office watching the slack channel, waiting for the next part of his question, seeing the contractor was "typing" and literally just waiting for him to press enter... a sentence at a time.
Their inability to form a complete though before sending the message, literally interrupted several engineers focus and had them waiting for the whole message. Rude.
