That's what I was thinking about saying too... They're probably still mostly right, in the sense that this is a company and companies are almost always primarily concerned with their profit margin, not the environment. However like you said, most things now are made out of plastic, most plastics are made from fossil fuels, and fossil fuels need to be retired like yesterday.

Yeah the very extraction of oil releases more methane than we even know, methane being one of the most influencing greenhouse gasses.
