Spock, we both know it has more to do with Standard Oil and the rest of the gay lords who visit California every July as to why we use plastics and not "industrial hemp"........
Plastic breaks into little pieces which fish think to be plankton. In many regions bigger fishes cannot be eaten anymore by humans because of to much plastic. Many small fishes die before. Not all plastic could be replaced, but for ex. big supermarkets could step ahead and replace their shopping bags with biodegradable material.
But yes you're right, the oil companies want plastic to stay.
