It's unbelievable that nothing has been done about this when it's been known for at least 10 years. This affects everyone. But it is staggering the lack of imagination in how to fix it when it is ultra easy. We need to incentivize new actions, new habits. What is the point of banning it when that just takes away more of our freedom? We need to learn to be responsible individuals and not just wait to be foreced. So we need to reward those who do the right thing. If you don't own a car, if you don't buy plastic water bottles, if you don't buy groceries with plastic packaging - you should be rewarded. Extra packing should be returned to the store and dumped in their lobby. This is EVERYBODY'S BUSINESS. Why should those who give not a whit to their pollution footprint, get the benefits of convenience as everything is geared to DO THE WRONG THING and it's actually more inconvenient to do the right thing. Doing the right thing has garnerd no rewards, you're just expected to do the right thing. And by thinking this way it only serves the lazy, non-thinkers. We know that government is not going to do anything, so pretend they don't even exist. Consider them like locust swarms or pests and simply avoid government like the plague. This is a good time to learn how to do things "OUR WAY". We can start our own rewards systems, why wait for daddy government to do it. If government cared they would have been onto it years ago. Don't just think it will happen/ By the time they get off their posterior, more plastics would have come into the wastestream and more sickeness, more dementia.
It actually does start and end with you and me, but we need incentives to make it a big draw. We need to get points for doing the right thing.
So many things are done in a worse manner as time goes on- now they're shrink wrapping organic vegetables and they sell organic eggs in plastic containers. Can someone please tell me who's great idea this is?
I also see dog walkers collect their dog's poop in plastic bags. Oh great - add that to the wastestream. When what would be a hundred times better would be to carry a trowel and just cover the little patty with dirt. Then you get NO WASTE and the poop becomes fertilizer. That's where it's SUPPOSED to go - in the soil. Is that just too obvious that nobody can see? If you don't pick up your doggie doos with plastic and cover it over like I do, you get looked at as though you just kidnapped a baby, when the whole time it is the sloppy joes who think they are being "clean" when really they are poisoning themselves and all of us.
