Great article AJ! Indeed, people need to step up and be concerned about our impact. I think about electric vehicles and how that's just passing the buck. But, get in a car from the 1950's and there's very little plastic in it and 70 years later they're still running. I also think of shoes and the massive amounts of waste that come with them. I'm glad to see companies like adidas [tackle that issue](https://www.adidas-group.com/en/media/news-archive/press-releases/2016/adidas-unveils-worlds-first-performance-shoe-made-biosteel-fiber/) but at the high end of the cost spectrum it's on the affluent to grab the torch. I will definitely consider companies like this who reduce their plastic with their packaging.
