Yacht gang: What the fuck is this? It costs 7% more to produce than the stuff we're already using
Pretty much the reason why non-degradable plastics need to be restricted or banned, otherwise the cost of those ending up in the environment we bear on behalf of fossil fuel companies.
Then maybe introduce some incentives to make up for that 7% or else force their hand by introducing steep penalties for any plastics that are used which aren't up to a higher standard like this... Or a little bit of both.
We unfortunately live in a world where people get elected simply by stating that they'll undo some progressive's green policy legacy.
And technology as a whole has done more to destroy than preserve. A dozen die shrinks later, where's the promised efficiency, home computers hungrier than ever. Generative AI straining water supply. A couple apps have enough footprint and resources to make a compelling case against the traditional employee-employer contract.
At some point people gotta start becoming skeptical of the notion that policy and technology will save the planet and that point was like 20 years ago
