Things like this are a great way of starting to think about sustainability questions and analysis and, you know, really getting into the details of, all right, when we're trying to figure out environmental impacts of something, how do we even start going about doing that, knowing that there's lots of different environmental impacts and, you know, lots of different trade-offs to consider?

And so we know for a fact that plastics cause environmental impact. And sometimes other materials are even worse.
