"It's shocking how much we use. I remember going to Rwanda 10 years or so ago. They have banned plastic bags completely. This is a country that had a genocide in the 1990s but by 2008 had banned all single use plastic and the first country to do so. We need to do better, starting from the top." The plastic top?  | |||

"Is it about what we buy or how we treat the rubbish we create. Plastic is now in water so it's there it can't be removed. But there is still liter every where braking down and putting more pollution in to the environment. Stopping liter is the cheapest way to reduce this problem." We can reduce the volume of what gets added to what's already around. We've been somewhat fooled to perceive that much of our plastic waste can and will be recycled. Even recycled, what little gets done, is still in existence and can breakdown 
As you hint, I think, it's a multifaceted approach that's needed. The best will come from ending plastic use. Not simple. We definitely have to address the issue of the waste already around.
Plastic-like products, made from natural substances, have been started and I guess that we have to do a lot more development and testing, before we can make big leaps forward. Plus switching to safer, existing materials, like glass, etc | |||
