We should be targeting a world without micro plastics. The sweet little petrochemical companies really don’t need you stepping in to defend them

If your rubric for a good comment is proposing solutions, I haven’t seen anything from you but bitching that this person hasn’t solved the world’s problems.

I haven’t thrown a one-sentence “we shouldda” out there, I don’t need to “propose solutions”. Also, such “proposals” mean jack, have no bearing on real life and are transient in nature - a week from now nobody will remember the post. This isn’t the UN, this is a small forum with angrily idealistic people who ultimately won’t be in a position to suggest anything or introduce any change in how the world works.
