Industry groups are furious.

Likely the best sign it's the right thing to do.

Until the cost of using plastic matches the cost of removing it from our environment. No one is truly going to provide the support needed to bring the cost of safer replacements down to a point where industry will care.

Just like all damage to the environment. Until world governments are willing to agree to make those profiting pay all current and future costs of clean-up. Capitalism will never accept its role n the task.

Remove carrots and start some application of fucking big sticks.
