Whats worse is those arent just aluminum cans....

Soda cans are aluminum cans with a LAYER OF PLASTIC inside. We literally can't get far enough away from plastic. That shit's everywhere.

Solution: We used to have bottling plants everywhere, and the loop was "local city glass bottling-> sold drinks-> return bottle -> sanitize bottle -> repeat". Low waste, no plastic crap, and REUSE (of the 4 R's). But nope, it's cheaper to consume new material and throw it "away" AKA: our children or their children to deal with. Its not like they can vote to stop us.
