Plastics

I was just sent a book entitled “Shattering the plastics illusion” by someone sponsored by the Plastics Research Council, whoever they are.

The book is basically a “back at ya”. Sponsored by a financially interested party, it tells the story of why the anti-plastic people are all liars and fools.

Backed up by facts extracted from academic journal articles, the author debunks myth after myth, without ever exploring why these myths exist.

The presumption is that the perpetrators of these myths are incentivised by personal financial gain.

But maybe they’re all just well meaning clowns that defer to the concept of serving the greater good even if there’re a few innocent victims along the way.
