Natural tends to be used many times over and once discarded is 'used'
in other ways (becomes part of the food cycle/or what not for other
critters : you do know humans are not the only critters on the planet
I hope? Though they're working on it.

Plastic may be reusable yes but not all kinds are and a great huge bit
of it goes into the ground. It just lays there for centuries oozing
toxins into the soil.

Have you tried growing veggies in plastic soil?

But yeah filthy cheap plastic is here whether I like it or not is right.

But remember this: Nature Bats last.
