US citizens: insist that incineration is not recycling.

Here is the message I entered:

The plastics industry and the American Chemistry Council are pushing legislation to reclassify incineration as "advanced recycling." That a dishonest statement to excuse a dishonest policy -- specifically to evade the Clean Air Act laws that regulate incinerators. It would not avoid the air pollution, only close the law's eyes to it. Please reject denial-ism and adopt policies to reduce the production of plastic.

US citizens: call on Amazon to eliminate plastic packaging.
