It is propaganda and demagoguery! It is alarmism and hysteria! It is superstition!
We usually learn only these plastics are forever and we are constantly exposed everywhere, because they break down very slowly (that is already a contradiction in terms either they are forever or they break down)! However, how dangerous are they really e.g. to our health, our environment? This is usually left to speculation and hints at potential negative health effects (e.g. EPA "may be linked to harmful health effects in humans and animals")!
Alert: Plastophobia is a serious disorder. Please seek immediate medical help! (Caution: satire)
What about all the benefits of plastics in our lives? What are the possible substitutes and how good are they (how healthy are the substitutes)?
