The article indicates the amount of plastic is getting larger, so even if the amount not recycled is 45% after the green deal tweeks--what will happen to it? Will it still wind up as huge hills all over poor countries even after the so-called stricter conditions?

It’s a step in the right direction. Which is one whole lot better than nothing.

Plastic is not fantastic. We are poisoning the oceans, the mountaintops, even fetuses in the womb. We wear it, eat it, breathe it.

However, we must not let perfect become the enemy of good!

not purchase plastic enclosed items...oh wait I can already hear the whine and cry of business we must not upset our gods. I can remember a time before plastic and business did not die

I recently boght a (plastic) bicycle taillight.

The packaging used absolutely no plastic (100% recycled cardboard!)
