Never mind the plastics, or junking the old car...

Chalk the "cash for clunkers" program up to the oil company lawyers.

It was the cheapest way to get pollution credits.

Another choice was to buy a pollution generating business and close

It was a way to get a lot of "dirty" businesses shut down and junk
cars off the street.
