As another commenter pointed out, you could (and people surely did) make the same argument about lead or asbestos. That alone doesn't mean it's not the right thing to do.

We have clear evidence that asbestos and lead are very harmful.

I don't think we have that evidence for plastic (yet).

Also you totally can start buying plastic free clothes here and now. Just more expensive usually.

Plus, plastics is a very very broad term. Saying "ban all plastics" isn't the same as saying ban lead, it's the same as saying "ban all metals".

Yeah, i.e., is rayon banned? Silicones (they're very different from all the classic oil-sourced plastics).

[soperj]

Sure we do, just look at the piles of clothing waste around the planet.

It was about health hazards.
