How can we live without plastic?

Submitted by Troy Hadley on March 29, 2007 - 09:01.

I remember all those commercials that the plastics council used to put out on TV. Showing someone dropping a shampoo bottle in the shower, and it would bounce instead of shattering at their bare and tender feet. There was lots of music and soft-focus camera work, like the cotton commercials (The Fabric of Our Lives). And I remember thinking, "Why the hell do we need to care about plastic? It's ubiquitous enough." I guess this is probably the time when the first studies came out explaining just how dangerous bisphenol A could be to our health.

Course, nothing's set yet, right?
