It is changing. Plastic can be recycled and it can have an overall positive
influence on our state of pollution. The problem is not plastic, it is lazy
slobs that toss it out instead of re-using it and recycling it. The plastic
that cannot be recycled is a good source of energy in a trash burning power
plant.

For a couple of industrial centuries, we though it was OK to just toss what
we did not want or use. Slowly we are learning to save money, energy and
perhaps the earth by taking a few simple steps. Re use that aluminum can
instead if digging more ore from the earth.
