I wouldn't say we should get rid of all plastics. Some of it is required for medical purposes and food safety.

I would love for governments to grow some balls and start fighting against climate change. But in the case that that doesn't happen (and it probably won't because money). I would rather take price increase and inconvenience in exchange for a planet that's still livable in 100 years.

we could also use some responsible disposal rules for plastics to prevent them from ending up in our circulatory systems and oceans.
