I've been thinking about clothes pegs and the vast superiority of wooden pegs. We dry our clothes on a clothes line and have a box of wooden and plastic clothes pegs.

The plastic pegs degrade in sunlight and eventually break. They'll fill a landfill or break into microplastics. Meanwhile, sunlight keeps rot off the wooden pegs and with regular use they may outlast me. If they break, the wood can be tossed in the garden to rot.

Why are plastic clothes pegs even a thing?
