Is all plastic bad?
I'd say: there is dumb plastic and there is smart plastic. Tampon applicators, garden furniture, disposable drink bottles, plastic wrap on fresh supermarket produce, those white plastic tubes that the police use once during an alcohol breath test, disposable plastic spoons used as coffee stirrers... are all stupid uses of plastic and we should stop immediately.
However, artificial hearts, hip joints, blister packs for medications, many electrical and building products, in fact there's a tonne of items that the plastic revolution has made possible and are way too fantastic to either do without ... Lego, you get my point here, are all great applications for plastic.
What I'm advocating here is simply to see this amazing and durable material for what it should be, essential, precious and ...rare.
