Friendly reminder that glass contains no plastic. And recycling glass still requires virgin glass.

And that reusing glass requires very little energy. Switch to glass. Use deposit programs. If you don't have a deposit program, lobby your representative to tax single-use plastic and single-use aluminum, and establish a glass deposit system.
