We have saturated our environment with aluminum to the point where one of our “background ailments” is light metal poisoning from aluminum - most notably as a decline in intelligence. We keep ‘choosing’ the cheapest easiest solution to liquids packaging and distribution - and each one of them - EXCEPT GLASS - has come back to bite us on the ass.
Someone needs to invent amorphous silicon with weak bonds and call it “glasstic”
Aluminum is the fifth most common element on Earth, and is naturally present in pretty large quantities in soil.
Are you sure you aren’t confusing it with lead?
No. Lead is another though. Aluminum isn’t common at all because it’s locked up in bauxite, which must be refined in order to ‘release’ the aluminum content.
The world has done an excellent job of releasing aluminum from it’s ‘prison’, and now aluminum is “loose” and causing problems with human cognitive abilities. (actually, all animals - but it’s hard to notice a decline in mental ability in animals).
Light metal’s poisoning, radioactive fallout from over 5,000 nuclear explosions, lead, CO2, decline in O2 atmospheric content… we’ve caused ourselves to start devolving.
