This reminded me of a thought I had the other day. I was watching a documentary with a terminally ill person and they had a small set of plastic drawers on their dresser. It was ghastly. Then I realised just how much more plastic is going to end up in landfill in coming decades.

People used to have wooden furniture that got passed down for generations. Now if someone dies everything they own that's made of plastic will be dumped. None of it has any value. There must be so much plastic accumulated in the homes of living people. It's scary.
