Plastic planet

The other day, I was in my favorite local grocery store and was bummed to see stacks of single use water bottles by the registers. I wrote a nice note to the store's main office and asked the please to not promote single use plastic so obviously. The displays have not gone away, my note was not answered, and these three photos are of one side of one isle in that store. I feel like we're losing this battle.

    I wish the govt would make it that ANY beverage bottle has to be 100% recycled.

    Any solar panel 100% recyclable.

    There should never be forever garbage for a landfill.

    Sadly, we're in the dark ages when it comes to plastic.  I read an article that talked about have plastic consumption has quadrupled in the last 30 years.  We're screwing the planet with this crap and there's just not enough widespread concern.  The problem just keep escalating.
