@lain or one person somewhere in the world dropped something and we all realised glass sucks.
@Nudhul @lain @Sophistifunk the reason we use plastic is because an barrel of oil can only produce so much gasoline, diesel, etc. Plastic is a byproduct that we found a use for, but since we use oil for other things, it doesn't make sense to NOT use plastic.
this is also why Asphalt is made of oil byproducts as well. It's basically a form of recycling.

They have technology that captures these toxic fumes before they are released into the atmosphere. I believe switzerland does this as well
