taxing plastic is not something our economy is likely to withstand.

Sure, tech workers can afford a few more cents per plastic item. But inflation this year has shown just how precarious the world's economy really is when it comes to handling even small percent increases in cost of living.

I think we just need to do a better job of disposing of plastic, but it's not clear how to accomplish that.

Also every solution is destined for failure because it would have to be adopted by the entire world, but that will never happen.
