Moving to a 100% biodegradable waste system would be amazing....

I can see it happening for residential, especially if grocery stores were forced to take more action. But for organisations, especially things like hospitals, a technological step is needed. What replaces all the single use plastic in those?

I don't doubt that we can solve technological issues like that. But we either force the issue or it wont happen.

Yeah, thats true.

I's listening to 'pod save the world' yesterday, and they were reflecting on the missed opportunity of the COP when its held in autocratic countries, like they have been lately. They said the lack of protestors meant the leaders lacked a sense of urgency instilled by the protests that accompany this event in more liberal countries.

So 'forcing the issue', like you say, doesn't even have to be hard legal action.
