Driving the masses to switch to a plastic economy is just the governments way of gaining more control over us. Simple as that. Dont get me wrong, I'm glad that I live in the U.S. and not some third world country, I just see this ( the u.s.) government as a lesser evil....not quite up to hellish standards , more of a judas vibe and I think that betraying kiss is coming soon. (Not trying to be religious, its just the best comparisons I could think of.)
