re: #1 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

Markets don’t work unless the price of a product or service reflects the actual costs involved, including downstream costs. Plastics are cheap to produce and use, but the disposal costs get socialized.

No amount of awareness is going to change that until we institute policies that force the price of plastic to be covered by the producers and consumers.

We are gonna pay for it one way or the other…

That argument basically applies to workers.
