How to best recycle plastics

Plastics come from petroleum, our favorite source of non-renewable fuel. How many strikes is it going to take for petroleum products to be banned? Oh wait, right, we can just wait until they run out naturally. The drastic far reaching dangers inherent in ignoring this problem are stupendous and plastic is the most visible symbol of it all. Extracting oil from the earth costs a fortune, takes a toll on the earth and the animals, affects earthquakes and assorted weather phenomena, and pollutes the air, the water, the earth. And now it has to take responsibility for the huge garbage pile of plastic the earth is becoming.
