Think about how much plastic you threw away today. Every one of those wrappers is likely to be sitting around in a landfill for generations, if not centuries. Those petroleum-based plastics that break down at all tend to leach dioxins into the soil, leaving behind poisons that make their way up the food chain, wreaking havoc on the organisms who ingest them.
Anything that can be made from petroleum, can be made non-toxically with hemp. The floating continent of plastic in the Pacific Ocean is not only an eyesore, but dangerous to marine life. We need to use less, and the products that depend on plastic ought to be made from a cheap, biological--and therefore BIODEGRADABLE--form.
Vote "Yes" on Measure 80 and allow Oregon to become the cradle of a new generation of green industry.
