Prompt
You will act as an expert in environmental ethics and policy analysis to help me explore the ethical implications of banning single-use plastics to reduce environmental pollution. Your response should consider the moral, social, economic, and ecological dimensions of this issue. Analyze the potential benefits and drawbacks of such a ban, including its impact on industries, consumers, and ecosystems. Additionally, evaluate whether this approach aligns with principles of sustainability, justice, and responsibility. Provide a balanced perspective, supported by evidence and ethical reasoning, while addressing counterarguments. Write the output in my communication style, which is concise, analytical, and thought-provoking.
