Look for the triangle.

A lot Plastics can be turned back into petroleum bases. That is encouraging but I doubt anybody in the u.s. is doing it, however I have seen videos of people in Africa and other poor areas in the world are converting plastic bottles Etc in back into a petroleum product and I guess one can burn it as fuel for their cars or perhaps cooking. Ain’t nothing wrong with that, the oceans are so full of plastics right now hopefully we can recover some of that garbage and put it in a plastic landfill somewhere but it is messing up the oceanic ecosystem at a cellular level. And anybody that doesn’t understand that needs to get an education cuz it’s going to be a major problem in the future. I think more so than air pollution.

“...oceans are so full of plastics right now...”

Horseshit. Ever been in/on/over the ocean? It’s not full of plastics. You are a dupe.

THE OCEAN IS ENORMOUS! Three times larger than the entire land mass of the earth, and, unlike the earth, it’s DEEP.

“...but it is messing up the oceanic ecosystem at a cellular level.”

No, it isn’t.

Bet you believe America is responsible for ‘global warming,’ too.

Don’t be a fool, man. Put down your bong and stop reading Scientific American, Popular Science, National Geographic.

I used to recycle plastic. Now I burn it. But I live in a VERY sparsely populated area (a house every 500 yards or so. I also don’t go through a lot of plastic in the first place.
