In other news plastics often mimic estrogen and sperm count down all over the world drastically. Plastics need to be simply banned or highly regulated, and we should also worry about nano particles invading our environment uncontrollably. We have alternatives and the massive corporations that peddle most of the food and drink around the world is more than capable of affording to switch to better alternatives even if it costs them some of their profit.

nah, they would pass on the cost to the consumer. The consumer would go for the cheaper product which would be the manufacturer that uses plastic. So it would need to be enforced by regulation.

"...we're not dying from the chemical accumulation of these particles" Can you provide more evidence for this statement? National Geographic writes only: "We haven’t yet seen the consequences" and there is a huge step from "we haven’t yet seen consequences" to "we're not dying... of these particles"...

Yes. See how long it took for lung cancer after smoking to be realized as a problem.

It's that damn straw lobby that's driven is to this point.

Big Straw?
