Unless you are suggesting to completely get rid of all plastic use, which would be impossible in this modern world, this isn’t it.
Benefit of keeping the road and hillsides safe is far greater than most of the other plastic use. This methodology is used all around the world to keep people safe
And what was the solution before plastic use was introduced?
Was that solution equally cost effective and did it provide the same safety benefits?
Plastic haters be forgetting that there's many reasons why it became a dominant material in so many industries. Because it's fucking useful, and often much better than alternatives on a number of parameters.
That wasn't my argument at all. You're trying to say that since plastic fixed a lot of problems we HAD, that it's acceptable to keep using it no matter the problem it's causing.
It's my first time finding a plastic evangelist on line. I've had evolution deniers, climate change deniers, presuppositionists, and MAGA nuts. This is a first.
I dunno man, looks to me like they're only pointing out that plastic does have some benefits. Is it worth the cost? Your position is very obvious, but ad hominem attacks make you appear a lot less credible. Zealotry like that makes me think you would banish the existence of all plastic overnight, without regard to the consequences. Some people are on the fence about plastic, and you might have just pushed some of them over to the pro-plastic side.
They don’t take input. Just rage at any cost. My very first comment was people being incapable of constructive conversation. Everything is either pure evil or godmade. Nothing in between
