      That’s not how this works lol. We exploit a resource until we either run out of it or find a more easily exploitable resource. This will continue until we kill enough of ourselves that we can’t maintain plastic production.

    People like to show trend lines of various things and compare them to:

    • Heart Disease
    • Obesity
    • Autism
    • Depression
    • Stroke
    • ADHD
    • Cancer

    Etc.

    I wonder how many will turn out to be influenced by the physical impacts and chemical/hormonal impacts of petroleum products placed inside our bodies.

    Life in plastic, it’s fantastic.
