Southern Californians are chronically being exposed to toxic airborne chemicals called plasticizers, including one that’s been banned from children’s items and beauty products.
what's wrong with glass, metal, and wood? the way i see it, the only reason we changed to plastic is because as long as we have oil wars, the cost for plastic will be lower. go, capitalism. and all that.
plastic is more cost effective for necessary single-use objects like syringes and other medical equipment.
plastic is more malleable, easier to mould and twist into useful shapes
Wider use of plastic pre-dates "wars for oil" and metal and timber are commodities that imperialists want to control just as much. They just have better control over those than they do oil right now.
Capitalism results in just as much human misery with regards wood, metal and glass production as it does plastic. There's no ethical consumption under capitalism because there's no ethical production under capitalism.
