    people will start hypothesizing every type of plastic substitute imaginable at the cost of moving the entire Sahara desert to the Pacific Ocean and talking about “Western packaging” vs “Chinese packaging”. my loves, we live in a system that leads us to consume continuously and more and more, what do you think about stopping buying and producing what is not needed?
