The word "plastic" defined for the 21st century

 
     From my research, I've determined that the noun word "plastic" was originally a boon, so said those who followed up with practical items that soon became important features for society to use, however, that wasn't sufficient for those who intended to use plastic in ways never thought of before.
     As I also found out, the word "plastic" is coined for a modern society, for instance when used a credit card, but then when used as a description of something supple, this word becomes an adjective, nonetheless, for the 21st century this word has an all encompassing effect that includes the industrial adaptions which now scientists and the medical professions say threatens the health and welfare of global society for decades henceforth, moreover, all of us should consider the importance of weighing in as to whether it is necessary to avoid using what has become a ubiquitous part of living in the 21st century.
     Regardless, I continue to believe examining all aspects of the word "plastic" is necessary now, rather than later.
     To remind us that time is not in our favor when considering the negatives of the continued and unabated use of what can badly affect or global society in ways yet not imagined, we in the USA can demand and insure that it is the duty of the so-called "green" friendly states to do more than pass laws to limit giving out the free plastic bags to hold the items purchased.
     Contact your representatives for congress and your state assembly to demand more be done to limit the use of plastic for wrapping foods plus the thick rock hard molds covering whatever we buy for other uses.
