‘They pushed so many lies about recycling’: the fight to stop big oil pumping billions more into plastics
Plastic production has doubled over the last 20 years – and will likely double again. For author Beth Gardiner, metal water bottles and canvas tote bags are not the solution. So what is?
Trying to use less plastic?
Big Oil and the plastics industry are spending billions to make sure everyone else uses more.
“I think what stood out most is the deliberateness and intentionality over the years of pushing plastic into our lives,” said @bethgardiner.bsky.social. “It was such a shock."

Good idea! They all, should sue her. They need justice ASAP.
Also, I wonder if all of us Americans can sue The Trump Regime for mental anguish, loss of income and several other valid reasons.

I absolutely agree.
Everyone who is found guilty of committing these heinous acts on children should be in prison. They should have already been in prison. We not only need to investigate everyone who is in these files, but we need to investigate everyone who stifled the investigations.

As a congressman, Markwayne Mullin made not one but two solo trips to Afghanistan, ignoring State Department warnings so he could play action hero.
He’s a former amateur MMA fighter, not a veteran.
If he’d been captured or injured, American troops would’ve had to risk their lives to bail him out.

No brain.
No morals.
No integrity.
No empathy.
No decency.
Not one trait that is desirable.

If this isn't abuse and fraud, I don't know what is.
We have no government right now.
This is what happens when you don't have a government.
