Counterpoint, how much is cancer treatment for
(research sounds, papers rustling)…
Seven thousand people†?
Multiply that by… some studies show costs of cancer treatment as high as $173,831 annually. 1,216,817,000? Would it cost more than 1.2 billion dollars a year to stop making everything out of plastic? This is just like, napkin ass math I’m not pretending to be a huge know it all or anything by the way. Personally I think that yes, we should stop making things out of poison, even if it costs more money.
†A recent study estimated that PFAS contamination in drinking water contributes to more than 6,800 cancer cases each year in the United States.
It would be a lot more costly to make syringes out of glass/steel for single-use types.

I don’t disagree with you at all, but I just don’t see a way for it to happen in the current corpo-controlled climate.
