Honestly, it's called a glass jar. Folks should eat fresh local meats and produce and make their own preserves. Less reliance on mass-produced products and support local farmers/producers. Back before the garbagization-of-food you'd go to the butcher and get high quality meats. You'd go to the market to get produce. And, you'd make your own preserves for the winter WITHOUT PLASTIC. Simple, and in fact they taste much better if seasoned well!

What will actually happen is they'll make the switch to biodegradable plastics. Too few will want to give up the convenience of ready-made packaged foods. It could also require more travel to reach small distributors who don't use plastic, which wastes CO2 and time.

The alternative would be more feasible if we had better-designed, walkable cities. But in North America places are built staggered, public transpo sucks.

Yeah, it's unfortunate really. All I can say is, as a collective people are really lazy and stupid. Even smart people are stupid because they think adding an _unnatural_ amount of mushrooms to the world will solve the problem. Like, hello people, adding _a bunch_ of something to the _bunch_ of something else is not a solution. By bunch I mean _trillions of tons_. People just value money more than anything and it will be our undoing.
