    Is the goal to reduce plastic, or is the goal to live as long and sustainably as possible on the only known rock that can support human life?

    But I see it as two sides of the same coin. Plastic or glass, we’re not getting at the core problem, which is long distance, packaging intensive transportation of goods. Plastic is bad because it becomes trash, and eventually a pollutant. Glass may have less pollution in the product, but more pollution in the distribution.
