Instead of seeing the problem of too much waste and asking a logical question like: ‘why don’t we make less of it? What tap should we turn off?’ More and more these sorts of deceptive/distractive ‘solutions’ are popping up. The last thing we need is more chemicals on the planet; and burning of plastics without creating upstream cultural and political changes just means more and more plastics will continue to be produced. It’s a vicious cycle and ultimately we all end up losing.
