There was a day, you know, when everything was packaged in paper or bottles, not plastic. Bring back that day -- or try to bring it back -- by taxing producers who package their items in plastic.
Plastic: It clogs our oceans, and sea life chokes on it. As plastic degrades, small particles are released -- some in the water and some in the air. The effects on human life have not been fully studied, but we know they can get into the organs, damaging them.
So tax them. Tax plastics. If a bottle of milk or a bottle of Coke was once the way it was done, make it so again. Can you imagine how much plastic would be eliminated if everything from syrup to hot sauce was packaged in bottles?
The harms of plastic are clear. Why we do not legislate against it, I do not understand.
