I hate all the plastic I find in farmland. It's everywhere, my place looks like forest paradise until you start looking closely to find all the archeology. Some new plastic was always thought to be a marvel of farming, every decade had its new things few of which actually worked and none turned out to be good long term (which is weird for people believing that they own the land, nevermind soviets who only pillaged it - this curse is universal). Now it's hazardous waste that's impossible to sift out, only geology and microbial evolution have any chances to take care of it some time (beyond my timescale).

Historically, one of the first uses for synthetic plastic (if not the first use) was farming rope for baling, that was made from metal before that, and metal badly was needed to murder people in WWI and similar conflicts of the time. That was the first fact I learned in polymer chemistry course long time ago. The course was full of synthetic plastics knowledge, and had almost nothing on celluloze- or protein-derived biodegradable material topics, and I guess that's big part of the problem, other than whole deal being started from bloodshed and hypocricy.

At least it's some form of carbon sink; it shows that we can indeed bind carbon longterm at large scale... if we wanted to.
