    recently i've noticed that alot of companies have started using plastic for containing their goods instead of tin or glass. do you think it's worse for the envoronment and WORLD to have plastic containers or tin/glass ones?

    I don't know how much better it is than tin or glass... :( But at least it's recyclable!

    Many people accuse plastic of being much worse then it is because it degrades slowly.

    Degrading slowly isn't really horrible though, it's just a resource complied from one part of the earth to another.

    It's certainly not 'good' for the enviornment, but negative effects can be mitigated fairly well, and it's certainly never going to be a ecological disaster. There are many more important ecological concerns then plastics.

    If there's a glass alternative, my advice is to try to choose it instead.
