I fear that it is too late to reverse the negative effects that plastic is having on the planet, too little too late I'm afraid. Are you aware of the chemical made by Du Pont of the USA? C9 a chemical not known 100 years ago can now be found in 99% of the population of the united states and has been found in umbilical cords and mothers milk. Chemists have unleashed the equivalent of Pandora box on us and it cannot be put back.
Surely we have to try, though? Just giving up and shrugging our shoulders, whilst wasting resources our children's children will need, is not an option, in my opinion.
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.

How do you know? Has every single person in usa been checked? how can anyone make such a claim?

I know what you mean Hosta I expect they have tested a small sample & then extrapolated the figure, always a dangerous thing to do. When I was at College (a very long time ago) we were all told that all of us in the class would have traces of DDT in our bodies, and that we would have to live to at least 104 to get rid of it, even if we were never exposed to it again. I am still here & working on it
On a more positive note I have just had my National trust magazine and it's come in a 100% compostable outer wrapper. It says it must not be put in the plastic re-cycle but composted or put in the garden waste. GW & the RHS are supposed to be looking at the same but they need to get on with it.
"Poisoning America the devil we know" it was shown on the BBC last year, the chemical c8 has poisoned America and probably much of the earth and will still be around long after man has gone. I tend not to believe anything that's unpalatable too so it's probably not true.

It's not a question of not believing it because it's unpalatable, ( climate change, smoking causes cancer, the holocaust , all are unplatable, but there's evidence to back them up ) it's a question of not believing it because I can't believe there's any evidence behind a claim that "99%" of the population have it.
