Poem 92 of 230: PLASTICS
Plastics, we so often hear
In environmental fear,
Are non-biodegradable
And, wrongly disposed, horrible.
But this (plus reuse) is the key,
And there’s the costing side to see -
To some become available
Goods otherwise unpayable;
And further pros occur to me -
E.g., replacing ivory.
