I never buy water or juice in plastic bottles. Condiments in plastic bottles when it's the ONLY option.

Hopefully not.

With what, then? Goods, especially liquids, have to be packaged. That's been the reality throughout human history.

They're holding on to the Trump hate as tightly as they can.

We'll know a lot more when we see how many of them still clutch desperately after President Trump's second inauguration.

Seriously you didn't know that Biden that Biden is still president, even though probably in name only?

The question is are you in favor of an international plastics pollution treaty?
