Right now there are 7,021,836,029 people on the planet and they usually eat at least once a day.

If you lived in a jungle in the tropics and could walk up to a banana plant and cut a banana leaf for a plate and then when you were done, toss it back into the jungle to re-enter the bio-cycle, then dish washing economy really would be a fool's errand.

But there is a chain of industrial events that ends up with the paper plate that is under your food.

This argument is actually about something larger. Ultimately it is about taking responsibility for that chain of events.

Best,
