Plastic seals food, sterile medical implements, medicine, beverages, etc… it’s seems like plastic is used as a way to seal things safely. Post pandemic rising, I see even more. My work used to be have plastic utensils in the cafeteria, for example, an already wasteful thing. Now, post-2020, every fork, knife, and spoon is individually wrapped in a plastic wrapper. I feel like the more my desire to escape plastic intensifies, the more plastic I see all around me everywhere.
How can we get away from plastic as a safety layer?
Maybe we could connect many cars together on this system, and make it so the front or the back car pulls the other cars behind it that carries all the passengers. For convenience, we could make nice loading and unloading areas.
That’s outdated tech tho, these days distributed motors are all the rage
