Plastic production has doubled since 2000 and less than 10% gets recycled. The oil industry is actively poisoning the planet for quarterly profits. There is no solution besides ending mass plastic production, but that seems like a nonstarter. Just another neverending global disaster to be conveniently ignored.

    It's concerning that this is the first I've heard of this major move.

    I figure the economy is bleeding out. There's so much money funneled to the top and not back into the economy. These corporations have sunk over a trillion dollars into AI and it's not making money. Plus, a lot of capital is fleeing the US, for a lot of reasons.
