Just thinking about how it seems like we are just starting to realize the full magnitude of how bad plastics are both for the environment and for human health%20and%20reduced%20fertility.)

Also thinking about the studies showing that cooking with gas stoves can be extremely bad for you.

What are some things you know about that aren't widely known to have similar ill effects?

      Oh I thought you meant like from a waste disposal standpoint, not a functional one. Gotcha. Yeah you don't want the carton to start breaking down before you're done with it.

        Right. Like ,from an environmental perspective waxed-paper is a solid approach. But for it to be a truly excellent replacement for plastics you gotta take other things into consideration too.

            Mushrooms are the future, hard agree. You can make almost anything out of mushroom if you really want to. I remember years ago reading articles about the mushrooms that would replace leather and being super excited about that.

          I'd argue for just going back to reusable glass bottles. It's what milk used to be put in only a handful of decades ago.
