JOHN CHUCKMAN COMMENT: A FEW WORDS ON THE CURRENT FAD OF TRASHING PLASTICS - WHICH ARE IN FACT VALUABLE USEFUL MATERIALS - WHO SHOULD BE BLAMED FOR PROBLEMS BLAMED ON PLASTICS?

COMMENT POSTED TO AN ARTICLE IN THE GUARDIAN



“I rely on plastic straws and baby wipes. I’m disabled – I have no choice”



The problem with plastic is with not the material, which is a wonderful one having many uses and advantages, it is with the people using it.

I think it irresponsible to keep barking away at plastic itself.

It is the careless and slobby and irresponsible among us who are responsible for everything that the material is blamed for.

In effect, the slobs get off free.

We do not make progress that way.
