But when I speak of it, people act like I wear a tinfoil. I hate that most people who speak about it are complete recycling denialists though. Glass and metal can be recycled wonderfully. Paper is a fine waste as it can just naturally decompose in a nature neutral way afaik. Plastic is bad bad. Ban it on gov level kind of bad. Just enforce for rent reusable packages. People will get used to it. In cases where it really is proven plastic cannot be avoided, allow it, but only as the last resort, e.g. plastic straws for disabled people should be allowed.
