   @freemo @Gina @FreePietje Easy. Buy less plastic and buy less gasoline.
   
   For the situations where we cannot avoid liquid fuel, like airliners, people are working on other sources than fossil fuel.

     @clacke

     Actually just buy less gasoline and non-renewable fuels, the production of plastic will automatically reduce regardless of its demand (the cost to make it as a primary product would be prohibitive and it just wont be made even if there is demand since the price would be enormous).

     @freemo Either way it's money into the same machine. Buy less of one, the other gets more expensive.
     
     I agree with @FreePietje ; If you are correct about plastic being the inevitable side-product, a big solid block of plastic in the landfill must be better than a thousand little trinkets, packagings, device parts etc sent all over the world.
     
     There's also the further energy use and pollution from turning it into the many different consumer-grade types of plastic.
