I think plastics are genuinely awesome, but we are over-reliant on them. I'd also rather not drive, but there will always be someone who has a use for cars.

I could remove single-use plastics from my life if my groceries were packaged sustainably. But for example, scientists use single-use plastics and that's a good thing.
