Wax paper is compostable and glass is reusable and recyclable indefinitely (unlike plastic)

Neither glass nor paper contains carcinogens.

We have to do both. Passing laws mandating beer bottles to use standard sizes and have deposits is usually the first step. Then you can do that with soda and every other item sold in plastic.

I love how you are arguing against dealing with a disposable society, by using examples and arguments on how to deal with a disposable society.

Literal cant see the forest for the trees moment.

I'm not arguing against ending a disposable society. I'm saying we need to do both. And I'm explaining how we do both.
