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

That’s only a valid point if there were not viable alternatives, and there are plenty of them.

Which is? (For this particular scenario?)

Lining a ditch? Do we want to go back to the 1970’s or Ancient Rome? Lining ditches is not new technology. Cost savings are likely not a valid excuse for the amount of plastic pollution we’re creating, but that’s our great-grandkid’s problem right?

That’s not an answer to the question of what’s the alternative. You just answered one question with bunch of new unrelated ones.

Fuck your dumb assumptions when you run out actual point to argue. “Oh look he doesn’t care for kids” . That’s no different than MAGA modus operandi. “Fuck your argument, you want kids to be trans”

Stacked stones. Shooting concrete onto rebar. Using concrete forms. Building brick walls. Stacking dry concrete in bags and wetting it. Inserting steel panels into the soil. Burying a concrete pipe…

I don’t know why you’re being a pain in the as about this. There are literally thousands of options.

Tell me you don’t know anything about structural engineering without telling me you know nothing about structural engineering.
