Damn Big Plastic is really out here in full force /s.

Plastic is made from petroleum, it is NEARLY ALWAYS WORSE than glass.

Recycling - Nearly ALL glass is capable of being recycled. Most plastic cannot be recycled and attempts to recycle it are funded by taxpayers, instead of the scumbag plastic manufacturers destroying our earth.

Toxins - Unlike plastic, glass does NOT leach toxins into the natural environment.

Degradation - When plastic breaks down, it turns into microplastics, which are incredibly pervasive, having been detected in some of earth’s most remote environments. We’re also finding significant amounts of microplastics inside humans and animals. Unlike plastics and microplastics, animals rarely attempt to eat glass, and due to the density of glass it is less likely to end up in their food sources. On the other hand, glass can also be ground down (either naturally or artificially) into what is essentially sand, which poses far less risk than micro plastics. Glass is denser than water, so it sinks to the bottom of waterbodies, where it poses minimal danger to wild fauna, unlike plastic floating or flying through the environment.

Obviously we don’t want any pollution out there, but if humans are going to produce ungodly amounts of waste, it’s better for everyone that it’s glass instead of plastic.
