Some here may be too young, but Google a guy named Jacques
Cousteau, I'm sure a hero to many of us, maybe his findings
will clear up some confusion, add some enlightenment

Start by banning plastic single serving drink containers, at least in areas that border the coastline. And all plastic containers should have tops that don't separate from the container when opened.

Put six packs back in cardboard boxes, like twelve packs.

Good Idea! Should be plenty of politicians to sponsor legislation who want credit for thinking of that.

I've read that plastic food/drink containers can't be recycled to make new food/drink containers because the used plastic can't be sterilized. The amount of heat required for sterilization would destroy the plastic.

Of course, not true with aluminium.

Para,
Your guy, Trump, seems to be the prince of divisiveness and hate these days. I agree that he is a slithering snake, but don't agree with the notion that he brings a better vision than organized rats....at least they are predictable.

But this isn't about him.

Plastic....a metaphor for our culture these days?

I don't think Chuck is really the type to go around shooting folks....but agree with you as to the levels of hostility surfacing on BN. I have been guilty of it myself over the years and am doing my best to remain involved without the vitriol.

Why don't you "seek" to tell us what YOU are actively doing to solve this problem, besides talking about it...Platitudes are for Platypus..(sp)..
