I mean … there are, I think, organisms that can process plastic. Not talking about biodegradable plastics, but about all that garbage.
At the same time humans got rid of lead paint and lead everywhere. And uranium glass is more rarely used today.
Everything changes, so maybe we will rotate to something instead of plastics, and the future generations will be nostalgic over good old days of that vintage non-woke solid serious plastic world.
We already have a people being ‘nostalgic’ for plastic straws… It’s depressing that so many people are so willfully selfish that the slightest change or inconvenience to their life is met with such backlash.
On a related note, Uranium glass isn’t dangerous at all, it’s production was phased out for nuclear weapons and reactor research, not because of any threat or harm from the glass.
Nowadays you can even get virgin uranium glass again.
Vitrifying (turning to/encasing in glass) nuclear waste is one of the better ways of storing it as no chance of leaking, etc.

Where I live plastic straws are still everywhere.
Nickname checks out ; I think I’ve read it can be dangerous if you ingest it in specific situations, but mostly not.
Agreed.
