One has to be amazed at the recent lawsuit file by the city of Baltimore against Coke, Pepsi and other makers of plastic containers. The lawsuit seeks to recover the expenses that Baltimore occurs in cleaning up the plastic (“Baltimore sues Coke, Pepsi and other producers of plastic, citing pollution concerns,” June 20).
Why not a lawsuit against all makers of all materials that need to be either recycled or landfilled? After all, landfills are expensive and it’s not just plastics that are causing the problem. Apparently, plastics are 12% of the problem.
So let’s amend the lawsuit to cover 100%. There’s no sense in letting a frivolous lawsuit go to waste.
