All that plastic is used for economic/efficiency reasons. Those increases in productivity are part of what allows us to support more than triple the population of the world since plastic's inception.

Plastic --> efficiency --> overpopulation --> more plastic? Whatever you're selling, I'm not buying it.

Overpopulation isn’t and won’t be an issue. With tough economics and dense living, advanced economies have shrinking populations and less advanced economies are all headed in the same direction.

During Covid times several US states have had more yearly deaths than booths which is a all time first occurrence.
