If it was that easy to get an alternative introduced it would have been suggested already and all of these radical "green" governments would have hopped on the train immediately. This idea that we're just killing people with microplastics because we like it is insane.

CFC's coming out of your hairspray is WAY different than removing the plastic keeping your food fresh.
