Society would change, a lot. I’d be very interested in what a plastic-phobic society would look like. Remember milkmen, who would take one empty glass bottle and give you a full one?

As in, billions will die? That is a big change indeed...

Yeah it's scary that people don't seem to understand that this would lead to billions dead which would cause chaos and resources wars that totally doom the planet.

We need infrastructure to transition, we need technological innovations and cultural stability
