Just think about how many used condoms there must be somewhere in the world. All the condoms you’ve ever used. And your grandparents. And theirs. Surely they could be made out of some of those plant-based plastics that are currently being developed?

And don’t get me started about disposable nappies.

      Yeah, out of all the plastics to reduce the waste of, the ones protecting from diseases and economic ruin are not the ones we should look to first

        Same goes for drink straws, they should be fining and sanctioning the large companies for their wanton pollution that could be greatly reduced. But, you know, money.
