@[email protected] @[email protected] @[email protected] another thing you gotta keep in mind regarding the ban on single use plastics: most plastic never made it back to be recycled, or ever disposed of properly, but got just left in the scenery somewhere. and if thats plastic, it will be there hundreds of years, generating micro plastics etc.
