I've been thinking about clothes pegs and the vast superiority of wooden pegs. We dry our clothes on a clothes line and have a box of wooden and plastic clothes pegs.
The plastic pegs degrade in sunlight and eventually break. They'll fill a landfill or break into microplastics. Meanwhile, sunlight keeps rot off the wooden pegs and with regular use they may outlast me. If they break, the wood can be tossed in the garden to rot.
Just to be clear, you believe all over the world, #CEOs are sitting in #boardrooms saying "Look, we could save money by switching from #plastic to [alternative], and undercut our #competition -- but darn it, we just wouldn't be destroying the #environment as much that way. We'll keep using plastic and hope none of the competition is smart enough to realize this too." ?
Sounds kinda stupid when you say it out loud like that, so surely this isn't what you mean? ...
