I am against plastics. Still use that material daily, but am nostalgic for when things were not made of the stuff.

I decided on my own that all plastics are somewhat bad, one way or the other: some are poisonous to me due to their solvents and additions to make them last longer; perhaps all bad for the environment; some just not a good material to use - but is because its cheaper.

Over the last year I have been more aware of microplastics, and how all plastics tend to give off evaporates and/or microscopic shedding. I am sure that collecting this for decades in my body is not good, and most probably is harmful in unknown ways now.

I suspect future generations will have more aversion to this material, at least I hope so
