What are the alternatives? Are they more problematic than the materials that they replaced? Asbestos, ivory, and tortoise shell come to mind first in that regard. I am a big fan of plastic insulated electric devices. I would rather take my chances with plastic wrapped meat over meat that has flies crawling on it or leaking out on other items. I remember having to check every container before opening for signs of contamination from botulism and other things before opening them prior to them lining things with plastics. Are the risks of consuming things stored in plastic worse than the risks of materials leached out of other products?
What are the negative effects of replacing them if you want something that is liquid or air proof? Are you willing to go back to the way food was processed and distributed without the sanitation that they provide? What are the negative effects of transporting those heavier products? Are you willing to accept a shorter shelf life of products?
Is the problem with their use or the poor handling of the used products? Most recycling programs are problematic, if not an all out sham. Is the material the problem or is it the single use disposable culture we have developed?
An organization like the WHO, as they attempt to gain power and control, cares not about health as evidenced by the covid debacle. The harmful effects of plastics are well known but apparently ignored. With phthalates and xenoestrogens saturating our food, air and water, males are becoming more feminized, leading to loss of fertility and gender dysphoria in some. Of course this is part of the depopulation path Bill + friends would like to see. Microplastics attract other toxins in the body and are difficult to eliminate so may build up for years, contributing to a chronically sick population that requires ever more healthcare, or shall we call it "sickcare". I've tried to eliminate as much plastic as I can but find it near impossible. I see how entrenched plastic has become, so for the time being, I look for ways to detoxify and avoid it if possible.
You nailed it... It's shocking that something as evidently toxic as plastics in everything is considered so shruggable: "we have no evidence to suggest harm." But MONKEYPOX is going to kill you!! It seems like such an obvious dodge. Glad the Collapse Life community can see through it!
And what is one of the most significant sources of microplastics? Vehicle brake and tire wear (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5664766/), with electric vehicles being worse due to their higher on average weight because of battery systems.
The fine folks at Plastics Today also want you to note that when your kid plays with his Legos he's sending fine microplastics up into the air so you'd better just to learn to live with it because you're obviously not going to deny Junior his plastic toys, are you?
Plastics Today obviously has a vested interest in weaving the ‘just suck it up’ narrative. Next will be government narrative managers telling us it’s all good, nothing to worry about. After all, we can’t have people upsetting the pursuit of the perpetual growth chalice that depends significantly upon hydrocarbons.

Excellent point! Thank you for adding that...
