Plastic is a marvel, a wonder, a lifesaver, a miracle and a very harmful thing to Mother Earth.
It does, however, many kinds of plastic recycle well, burn well, and so places with 'waste to energy converters" (we used to call them incinerators) can take care of it that way ... and yes, there are scrubbers on their smokestacks, worry not. We recycle all our plastic bottles and nearly anything else we can.
