If you were alive back before the transition to plastic bottles, you would notice that every public space in America was covered with broken glass. Every park, every beach, broken glass everywhere. All that “sea glass” at the beach is just 50-100 year old broken beer bottles. Think about all the times you’ve seen a plastic bottle on the side of the road, 50 years ago that was a broken glass bottle.
