    Same for me. I actually don't order much but kept the subscription going for some of the shows I enjoyed. I promptly cancelled because of this. Obviously I'm in the minority, other…

    > Plastics aren't a problem if people actually put them in the bin, and they are buried / recycled / burned. Only 9% of all plastics ever produced has been recycled. 100% is imposs…
