i&#x27;ve been thinking a lot about your inquiry and my response, so i thank you for taking the time to make it<p>you&#x27;ve caused me to really consider what my goals are<p>i am uninterested in making plastics illegal but rather i&#x27;m interested in reducing the amount of plastic waste in the world<p>my initial reaction is the best way to halt this is to remove the ability to create more plastics<p>but as you pointed out it&#x27;s more interesting to promote stead limit<p>so perhaps instead of making plastic use for superficial, yet to be clearly defined, uses illegal perhaps there is a buy in for use allowance<p>meaning plastic bottling is illegal unless you pay for the rights for so much plastic use<p>but the caveat is two fold<p>first:  in order to pay for the rights you need to agree to reduce overall plastic waste in the world<p>meaning, you can use plastic bottles for your product, but you need to be diminishing old plastic accumulation<p>if you fail to reduce at the rate agreed in the permission then your rights are again revoked<p>second: the only ones who can buy the rights to create plastics are research teams attempting to decompose existing plastics<p>in this way the research is funded by the sponsorship of plastic users<p>meaning, a big corp that bottles in plastic uses profits to fund research in plastic decomposition for the ability to continue to bottle in plastics<p>.<p>any thoughts?
