    Why would people want such a useful material ‘banned’?

    Because it’s not actually useful, it’s just poison.

    In terms of waste, you can say that about literally everything we consume.

    Yeah, and we need to stop. It’s literally going to drive us to extinction, along with countless other species. This kind of apathy is disgusting.

      It can be useful. It’s a great surface for doing any form of outdoor exercise on.

          Claiming it’s “not actually useful” though is just wrong.

            If a thing does more harm than good, it isn’t useful, the people using it are just selfish.

              That’s an interesting new definition of ‘useful’ you have.

                It’s certainly more sound than yours, which apparently requires nothing more than “it feels kinds of nice to step on” while it poisons the ground and eliminates yet more of your local ecosystem.
