I’m a hypocrite;
I know it.
I admit it,
though
I think
the problem
is public
as well as
corporate.
I know
it would be
drastic
to forgo
the use of
plastic,
because it
really is
fantastic,
but it’s
poisonous.
Poisoning us
like smoking
does,
without noticing
thus.
Leaching into
water sources,
air and soil,
natural resources,
mammals
and all animals,
and the atmosphere
here
on earth,
is deceptively toxic
from so much plastic.
Who knew
that from
the era of
“The Graduate”
we’d gradually,
inadvertently,
blindly,
slowly
kill everything.
Micro
and nano
plastics
are found
underground
and inside us.
But the demand
for change
in how we
arrange
our lives
for health
is rather strange.
We know
the plastic
problem
continues
to grow,
though we
dare not
abstain,
which is
a stain
on our
humanity.
Kennedy,
the Secretary
of Health,
and Human
Services,
has an opportunity
to shift away
from mRNA
funding cuts,
to finding
the guts
to take on
Big Plastic.
It’s so ubiquitous,
this poisonous
stuff
that’s poisoning
us
and the environment,
but its
retirement
is not yet
a conversation.
It will
necessitate
those who
might hesitate
to boldly
demand policy
private
and public,
that plastic
becomes
less ubiquitous
and poisonous
to us
and every
living thing
around us.
