I seriously hope we get rid of all plastic. FGS, We don't need it!
Holly wrote:How would we go without plastic? Can we do without straws, nappies, drink bottles, takeaway containers, shopping bags, food wrappers, ice cream containers, buckets, microwave dishes, storage containers etc...the list is without end...can we do it?
If so, how will we manage?...any ideas?

I've already answered that, by cutting down on the human population. It doesn't matter how much we recycle, as unless it's 100% of everything, resources will run out eventually and then what?
And it's not just plastic which is the problem anyway. You've got glass, metals, various other materials which take a long time to break down.
Fewer humans = less waste. And it's as simple as that.
Hemp doesn't need recycling it breaks down cleanly and rapidly.
Glass can be recycled indefinitely as it doesn't lose its properties no matter how many times you melt it down and reshape it.
All metals are recycled.
Hemp isn't a resource that runs out.
You do know what renewable means yes?
Lets only have a population the size of Britain is farcical.
The jra solution is let's not tackle the plastic problem because there are other problems too.
Let's just kill everyone.
What a dick.
Let's just kill everyone. Where did I say that?
I'm not saying don't tackle the plastic problem, just giving my views as to why it is IMO a problem.
So, if you want to continue this discussion with me, stop being abusive to me, or I may bow out at any time. However, I probably won't because I'm not letting people like you intimidate me, e.g. by calling me a dick. OK.
And not all metals are recycled btw. They may decay over time. Any man made material may or not be recycled.
So you’re saying rather than deal with the plastics problem let’s give up copulating. What will the rubbers be made of?

ETA. Latex, a type of rubber (the clue is in the name), not plastic.
