The different views that can be held about the project!
Some people might argue that there are limits on individual responsibility. For example, everyone would have to make or buy dozens of cloth bags to reduce plastics finding their way to water courses! This is not realistic. We use plastics all the time.
Therefore, here are the three other opinions you thought about...
1. We should make recycling plastic financially profitable, and not just an ethical choice. The mining of landfills for plastics, for example, to recycle them should be made economically viable. Companies who want to recycle should be supported by subsidies and financial help from governments or NGOs or charities around the world.
2. The petrol and plastics by-product business is a huge global industry, employing millions of people. We should put pressure on companies to encourage their scientists and chemists working in this industry to create more environmentally friendly plastics.
3. People should put pressure on political parties to add green policies into their manifesto. Long-term change can be brought about politically, so the effort should be on political change first. It should be the government's role to support the recycling industry with financial help to create a new recycling industry.
