30 January 2020 - plastic pollution 2

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Large pieces of polluting plastic do have bad effects, such as turning beaches colorful and endangering charismatic megafauna. To prevent that, reduce littering and keep your waste removal chain tight; rich countries have done that and contribute less to the problem. Lower income countries, also following the rule that it is always somebody else’s fault, have reacted by rejecting imports of waste plastic for recycling. Conclusion: We are all happy now.
