I'd rather see them made out of hemp or wheat instead of just not having them anymore.
Most of what is made out of plastic we can just make out of other materials.
It's just hurts fossil fuel corporations profits.
Legit, i cannot recall the last time i bought a loaf with a plastic one, they're all cardboard now
That's good you all already have an alternative.
Or just go back to the twisties? The ones that are just wire and paper
Yep.
We jumped all in on plastic, because a lot of plastic is just waste from oil that couldn't be made into gas or anything else.
It's why plastic became synomous with cheap shit. It was basically free materials. Even compared to thin wire and a little strip of paper.
We're destroying the planet so corps can save $0.000001 per unit.
