PictureMatt Seaholm, proud Gaia killer
Meet Matt Seaholm. He's the proud face of the insidious war on banning the banning of plastic bags.  As reported in The Intercept, the executive director of the American Progressive Bag Alliance is 'unapologetic in his antagonism of environmental groups that have been calling attention to "the ban on the ban." In Texas, Seaholm, the former national director of the Koch brothers-led Americans for Prosperity, positioned himself as the enemy of environmentalists.

​'
“They hate what we’re doing,” Seaholm told his plastics industry colleagues at a recent conference with a mischievous grin. “We wear this as a badge of honor.” The fact that environmental groups oppose the APBA’s tactics, Seaholm added, is evidence that his lobbying group “must be doing something right.”'

42 percent of Americans now live in states where they can’t pass local bans on plastics' thanks to his efforts and those of other Big Plastic lobbyists. 

Say what? 

Seaholm derided the attempts at banning plastics as “primarily driven by emotion.”

​Yeah, that and science and evidence. To quote Smokey Robinson, I second that emotion. 

PictureNOT recyclable.
I encourage you to read the extensive article that also explores China's role in recycling plastic, the Trump administration's work against international efforts to crack down on plastic waste, the BS Starbucks and Taco Bell promotion of their "recyclable" tops, and the downright Machiavellian effort by Big Plastic and Big Soda to make you feel guilty about not recycling their crap by founding the Keep America Beautiful advertising campaigns that featured the infamous "Crying Indian" (an Italian-American).
