I think a lot of people are Ok using more energy to recycle glass (if true), instead of having trillions of pieces of plastic filling up the planet.

I doubt that selling Dasani water in aluminum cans in the Northeast US is going to move the needle on global plastic pollution, with the entire US accounting for less than 1% of plastic pollution (below countries such as North Korea and Algeria [1]) despite having 4% of the population and 24% of GDP.
