Plastic Pollution And Other Stories
Recently, some parts of the United States have taken action against plastic drinking straws, because of the harm they cause to marine animals. Plastic in other forms has also been found in the oceans. But while the West has taken up this concern, it has not caused most of the plastic pollution. A relevant question comes from Defend Europa:
The mainstream media has been bombarding Western countries with news about the need for a more circular economy and slow phasing out of plastic from our daily lives in order to protect the environment, focusing on the World’s oceans. But how much of that plastic pollution is actually the West’s fault?
As it turns out, according to the information in the DE article, the United States is the 12th worst plastic polluter of our oceans, with 0.11 million metric tons, and is the only Western country among the top 12. Thus, we Yanks can certainly do better, but as DE notes, if those who are concerned about all that plastic really want to get their point across, they need to have their concerns translated into Mandarin, Hindi, or an African language. The worst culprit is China, with 3.53 million metric tons. The article also points out the 10 rivers which spew the most plastic into the oceans. I won't recite them here, but I'll provide a hint. Zero of those rivers are in North America, Europe or Australia. Read the story at the link above, which comes via Voice Of Europe.
