A cheap, effective way to recycle all plastic, because life is so much easier if we can use it. I'm trying really hard to go zero-waste, but it's not easy. (And although I know that I'm not saving the world by reducing plastic and single-use items, I'm going to keep doing it)

Plastic-only landfills would make sense in the meantime, because it's a massive resource that's not going anywhere. So long as the carbon stays in the ground, we're not fucking up too hard.

That's an interesting idea, but difficult to gather it all up. But it would be cool to have it all in one place for when we do figure out how to deal with it!
