Don't feel bad. Plastics in the landfill is sequestrated CO2. It's oil that has been dug up, but never burned.
While you might argue that we shouldn't have extracted that oil in the first place, plastic packaging is less energy intense to produce compared to packaging made out of glass, metal, or plant mass.

So let the landfills store the CO2.
