Asswipes got wealthy in the plastics industry with no regard for the future impact. Once again, peasants pay the price for the outcome. Years ago, milk came in glass, (easily recyclable) groceries came in paper (easily biodegradable). I remember in the 60's, my father would take a case of empty beer bottles to turn in when he bought a full case, no one complained. Except, apparently business' found it was not cost effective. And now what about all the plastic water bottles that everyone overpays for because everyone wants instant gratification. I continue to use the two water filters I have and use reusable (over and over) metal cups and bottles.
