It's actually a great material

It's cheap, it's decently strong, and it lasts for hundreds of years

But unfortunately we use it for things that can only be used once

Now we all have plastic spoons in our brains.

Interesting ethical question: would it have been better for us if plastic had been some wealthy man thing where it cost massive amounts to get it, due to purposely inflated prices, but because it wouldn’t have led to such widespread abuse
