There are bacteria that eat plastic. Plastic isn't an issue. Quality of life and health are real issues.
Reckless disregard for human welfare is what we're talking about - putting profits before health. Letting people die because of greed and shortsightedness is unacceptable, regardless of "intent". People still get prosecuted for manslaughter even if they don't "intend" to kill people.
Even if we stopped every bad practice that corporations have put into place right now, they would still do everything in their power to find new ways to put people at risk in order to make a buck. This behavior has to stop, the government needs to actually enforce some laws and ensure the public welfare. They freaking do it in Europe... why does America have to be no better than a third world backwater?
