Too much plastic waste

Dear Editor:

If you are waiting for the government to do anything, call me in the year 2100.

Only you can stop this garbage. Turn back the clock 60 years when soda pop came in glass bottles that were returnable. Laundry detergent came in cardboard boxes, ice cream came in cardboard boxes. All this and more came in cardboard or glass.

If you want to help save the planet, stop buying products that are in plastic containers; make the companies put them back in glass bottles, cardboard boxes. That will go a long way in helping save the planet. One more thing: my water tap works fine with no plastic waste.

Robert Kay,
