I guess not everyone thinks in the same way.

I imagine there are certainly very apt uses for plastic, and can agree with the advantages that you mention. When it comes to food and drink,  I don't think plastic has really solved very much IMO. In terms of other areas, I definetly can see the benefits of plastics.

Just as polystyrene and other materials were commonly used as disposable food trays, plastic cutlery etc, I don't think it is necessary.

I don't drink anything of that sort, but I'd take plastic any day.

Glass sucks, because it's heavy and breaks.

I have to admit to not reading the article yet, but personally, I think this all misses the point.

Which would you prefer, your soda, milk, or beer to be housed in a plastic bottle or a glass bottle? The world seemed to run quite well on glass in my not too distant memory.
