    Why can't the soda companies go back to refundable glass bottles? That would get rid of a lot of the plastic waste problems... You know, like the baby boomers used to do before the enviro purist money hungry plastic loving millennials screwed up the environment.

    that was actually another documentary in the wormhole i crawled into on youtube about all this. apparently according to german journalists in their documentary. DW i beilieve the name of them is, coca cola actually still had that going in Thailand up until just very very (like 2017) recently. then they converted to plastic there as well. because the company would have to pay to wash out all the bottles. and eat the costs associated with all that. now they can just pump out the product and not worry about what happens to the package. in it they interviewed the vice president/ceo what ever they call him of coke. he claims the customer wants plastic because its more durable and portable. like i **** you not those words came out of his mouth. its kinda sad i think but ultimately the world as a whole votes with their money. in my opinion though if they made most liquid drinks come in aluminum i would buy more of them. budweiser was giving out water in cans when i was with team rubicon in disaster areas. if coke would put their Dasani water in aluminum cans like monster where its resealable i think more people would be willing to buy that. and as much as i hate government sticking their hands in places they don't belong i feel like they do need to step in here to come up with something. and yeah burning trash does work too. germany does it. although they have their problems as well, at least once its burnt it takes up way less space then a landfill.
