Comment on Ten Rivers Contribute Most of the Plastic in the Oceans (2018)parent

Comments

Getting rid of single-use plastic now is the best thing we can do.

Is it really? Single-use plastic from western countries is mostly not the plastic found in oceans. So while they were busy implementing these measures, they do not even scratch the surface of the issue. Do the proponents of these ideas care about the environment at all?

Single use plastic bags are the ones that end up on my porch. And on my street. And the lake at the end of my street. And in my local parks. And in the creek down the block. And in the river running through town.

Single use plastic is an eyesore. It's garbage that doesn't stay where it's supposed to.
