People are figuring out that single-use plastics are really bad for public health & the environment (including climate). The response of the petrochemical and plastics companies is a massive campaign of deceptive PR using influencers who hide their industry funding. www.nytimes.com/2024/11/27/c...

Food systems are the #2 contributor to climate change, the #1 driver of deforestation, the #1 driver of biodiversity loss on land, and the #1 user of freshwater.
(It follows that food systems contain many solutions to these problems.)
