At a conference meant to address the plastic crisis, pro-plastic messaging was inescapable.

Meanwhile, industry insiders — some positioned as government delegates — were given access to vital negotiations.

@ProPublica One of the (numerous) things that bugged me while watching Fallout was the lack of plastic waste everywhere. Metal, sure, but where are all the styrofoam and single-use plastics that would never have biodegraded, even after a nuclear apocalypse?? I get that it's supposed to have happened in the 1950s, but surely there was already plenty of plastic waste floating around by then.

(the impeccably shiny and unscratched Brotherhood of Steel powersuits also bugs tf out of me, but that's something separate)
