Seems like the ingredients for the other materials have to be mined or drilled, and that's a relatively permanent effect on the planet. Modern plastic comes from processing petroleum, I think. Metal has to be mined and processed using a great amount of energy.
Good points. I think I remember reading and seeing plastic as an iffy substance, but can't remember for certain. I would think reusing plastic, glass and metal would be the way to go. I know one of the milk companies sells in a glass bottle, and then you can return the bottle to the grocery store, get a few pennies back, and they wash and reuse the glass. I would think that since consumers are returning them to the grocery store, where they will drive to anyway would also save on some shipping pollution, but I don't know for sure.
