Landfills have been kind of a visible enemy for decades but it would have been far preferable to send plastics there than to China and the Ocean.

In my town, we're told to throw away #1 bottles (usually cheap water bottles). Certain plastics, like wrappers and plastics that held food have to go into a separate orange bag. Those plastics become diesel fuel - not sure if that's a net gain for the environment v. landfill or not.

And climate change was discussed for 15 minutes out 4 hours of Dem debates. There's no way any significant political capital is going to be expended on it at the expense of sexier issues. It's still not a priority for anybody but the fringes.
