...yes, and compounds derived from it are naturally present in a lot of plants.

Short-chain hydrocarbons are quite reactive. But plastics are anything but short-chain, and "sentiment to eliminate plastic" just reads like the astoundingly tiring and misinformed idiotic "chemicals bad!!!1111" insanity of hypochrondriacs.
