the no plastics club would be amazing - plastics have invaded all forms of our life. it's nearly impossible to find anything that isn't made or wrapped in plastic these days.

even in clothes, every major brand I looked at has at least some or all of it's material based from polyester.

Plastic is an incredible engineering material though. Just that it’s commoditized to the point where nothing can compete with its properties given a fixed cost. So, everything is now made of plastic.

I wish plastic was an expensive material because it really is incredible and there are thousands of different blends.
