I only cited Palm oil production as an example of how a need was produced by bad legislation and the opportunity cost of that decision has been dire.
And I am pleased that you have obviously seen improvements over the years and feel strongly about yet further improvement.
My concern is a knee jerk reaction to plastic over use along the lines of “we must now use paper” and the demand created is such that corners are cut and blue rivers like the one you saw in China become the norm in other parts of the world.
