There's no replacing plastic like we could do with asbestos. We're screwed

    There are bioplastics that are actually compostable and biodegradable, and I'm sure with enough research we could develop others with better properties.

    But why would we research a way to make the world a better place when we can just pull oil out of the ground and burn it and make forever chemicals out of it instead?
