We should throw all our plastic in the ocean. That way itβs far away from us as possible
Good news! That operation has been underway in the guise of recycling for some time now.
That's not how this works lol. We exploit a resource until we either run out of it or find a more easily exploitable resource. This will continue until we kill enough of ourselves that we can't maintain plastic production.
If that were true, we'd still have asbestos in everything. Regulation works.
