Steve,
Sure! The environmentalist are the blame for plastic. Those little 'boogers' were really active back in 1862 when Alexander Parks demonstrated the first man-made plastic in London at a World's Fair exhibit.

Actually there is some truth to the 'protestors' causing the first viable use of such material (celluliod -- a plastic derivative)in that the MJs of the world didn't mind killing a few (matter of fact...a lot) of bull elephants so they could harvest their ivory to make billiard balls.

Ironically, we as a group that speaks of civilization are bound and determined that eventually humankind will all be behind the eight ball.
