Oh...thought they were talking about a DNC convention!

From Africa ?

[TADSLOS]

Gee, I wonder where it’s coming from?

Haiti.

[Bonemaker]

Washing down from NY/NJ?

United Nations should pay the DM to process the junk.

To fail to mention WHERE the garbage came from, or WHY seems politically convenient. It’s either from a “Shithole” nation, or yes, it’s from the Hurricane damage of PR?

One of my better nurses at the nursing home was from there. Had a ton of them from Africa.

From another article - "The plastic waste washing onto Montesinos Beach comes from the Ozama River, which flows into the Caribbean nearby."

And so while they bring up the scare of garbage in the Pacific ocean, it really is their own garbage coming back.

[teeman8r]

it is easy enough to figure out the origin... overturned garbage scow or hurricane wash...

burn it for fuel.

The Dominican Republic shares an island with the dirt-bag nation of Haiti. That’s where all this trash originates.

This river bisects the Capitol and is extremely polluted.

There was a recent article stating (FWIW) that 90+% of the plastic garbage in the oceans comes from 10 rivers - all from Africa, East Asia, Central/South America, and the like.

But idiot protesters try to ban plastic bags and straws etc. in the developed Western nations, whence just about nothing originates from. Damn, these people are stupid...
