Greenpeace, as well as other groups seeking ways to eliminate plastic packaging and other single-use plastics from the planet, just may have to pivot, whether they like it or not. Alternative materials aren’t cutting it and waste won’t be eliminated.
“Original headline was too long.”

Oy. That’s not a headline, it’s a novel!
Greenpeace members have to come to the realization that they are human carbon units and must off themselves for the sake of the environment.
Folks here have been pointing this out for decades.
The only way to “Save the Planet” is to Kill the People.
You can be sure it is the Deplorables and not the Elites they want to kill.
It is just a matter of time before the enviro-wackos take off the mask and tell us their real agenda.
Just how can plastics be eliminated from the planet when core samples from Antarctic testing show that microplastics have been in the oceans for millennia?
Plastics are part of nature.
Human flesh
So these liberals realize that human technology and existence has limitations, at least in this case. It’s progress.
Leftists and Gaia worshippers are the worst breed of fools.
All trash, along with these left wing groups, should be pumped down to subduction zones. Then you will have real recycling.
Early this morning I was out in the yard with the dogs and noticed that one of them was drinking dew water that had collected in a fallen leaf curled like a bowl.
Eureka!
Instead of plastic plates and bowls and glasses and cups and utensils we should be using curled up leaves.
We’re in a carbon drought. We need much more CO2 in the atmosphere.
The whole CO2 thing is high comedy.
People used to burn most of their trash - try doing that nowadays.
Leaves can be currency too according to Douglas Adams.
These are the main money quotes:
“Moving to bioplastic, paper, 100% ‘recyclable’ packaging, incineration and chemical recycling all but guarantee this environmental crisis will get worse.”
And companies must
“invest heavily in systems that prioritize reuse”
This is an improvement on my idea - after dinner you can smoke the plates and bowls - you will never have to wash dishes again and you will be saving scarce water.
Well, at least they’re burying windmill blades. True but ridiculous.
“paper usage is destroying the world’s forests.”
This is some of the biggest hogwash ever.
Does anyone realize that trees are LIVING things? That they DO die and are born from seeds? It’s called “planting again”.
Trees are a renewable resource; they can be replaced AND most trees die within a century anyway, so you’re going to “lose” them pretty soon anyway.
AND, since trees (as all plants) NEED CO2 to “breathe”, what is so terrible about the “carbon footprint”? Animals need oxygen, plants need CO2, and each outputs the other. It’s very symbiotic.
1 turtle dies or is injured with a straw and the world cries hysterically! Thousand of turtles are eaten by poachers, wild animals, birds, fish, etc... and nobody cares.
Should we go back to using ivory?
