Can we start by taxing plastics, and destroying the demand for them?
Every day we do more. We make more plastic pollution today than our ancestors before us. The last group reserved for plastic use should go to healthcare. Everyone else should pay a huge fee for the plastic.
Make producers for plastics 100% responsible for reclaiming, recycling, and disposing of all plastics they produce.
While the industry that polluted our literal cells cleans up, transition away to sustainable products as we end fossil fuel production.
Everything we need to solve the climate crisis exists already. All we need is the will to see it through, even if our leaders won’t, even if unjust laws protect the people that pollute for profit.
