Another vision. Eliminate as much plastic as possible.

Eliminate all plastic ware and plastic straws. Plastic takes a long time to decompose. Use wooden chopsticks and paper straws. Plastics straws are harmful to animals. For years, the San Diego Zoo has refused to give plastic straws with their drinks. Good for the San Diego Zoo.

"I can't use chop sticks." That is hog wash. There are more people in the world who use chop sticks than those who don't. If the majority of people in the world use chop sticks, then we can lean to use them also.

Let's eliminate all plastic food storage containers. What can we use? Glassware. It's time to eliminate as much plastic as possible.

We need to outlaw all plastic that cannot be recycled. It would be easier for all countries if we made only one type of plastic. The number 1 plastic. If we only allowed the number 1 plastic to be manufactured then everyone would know that all plastic can be recycled.
