"Recycling is like a Band-Aid on gangrene"

A clear eyed assessment of the industry and politics of single use plastics.
"The only real mode of attack is to deal with the heavy decrease in the production of plastics, as opposed to dealing with them after they've already been created. Your consumer behaviours do not matter, not on the scale of the problem. On the scale of personal ethics, yes. Recycling has skyrocketed [with] no impact on the scale of plastic production whatsoever. Really it's the cessation of production that will make the big-scale changes."
Thanks TreeHugger.
