This is a pernicious idea, that clay pots are “sustainable”. Clay pots/kulhars are basically unglazed ceramic/glass and making them irreversibly destroys topsoil. It may look more aesthetic/natural than plastic but is an equally awful pollutant. At modern scales it would be worse

I’ll let you do the math on replacing all plastic with kulhars and tonnage of clay soil required etc if you’re actually curious. Plastic is a problem with highly distorted perceptions as the plastic straw/turtle case shows.

I don’t but I find the case against plastic to be largely based on unexamined aesthetic assumptions and no analysis. That’s how you end up with media ignoring fish net waste (40% of oceanic plastic) and trying to ban plastic straws (< 1%) on the strength of a turtle photo.
