The simple fact of all these “UN Conventions” is that the US is already doing far more than nearly any other nation.

If you want to reduce plastic in the ocean - look to CHINA.

We then tie ourselves down to controls and a political narrative (and required funding) which is treated as a scam by many 3rd world, socialist nations.

95% of the plastic in the ocean is from two continents....
Asia and Africa.

Would like to read the resolution. Would like to find out why we didn’t sign on to it. Looked for the resolution’s text and couldn’t find it.

Winning!

The planet will be here for a long, long, LONG time after we’re gone, and it will heal itself, it will cleanse itself, ’cause that’s what it does. It’s a self-correcting system. The air and the water will recover, the earth will be renewed. And if it’s true that plastic is not degradable, well, the planet will simply incorporate plastic into a new paradigm: the earth plus plastic. The earth doesn’t share our prejudice toward plastic. Plastic came out of the earth. The earth probably sees plastic as just another one of its children. Could be the only reason the earth allowed us to be spawned from it in the first place. It wanted plastic for itself. Didn’t know how to make it. Needed us. Could be the answer to our age-old egocentric philosophical question, “Why are we here?”

Plastic… a_______e.”

Tell the UN:

When Asia has cleaned up 50% of its plastic waste and Coal emissions, THEN come and talk with the U.S.

Another win...Yes... F the UN...

93% of Oceanic plastic comes from just 10 rivers. Two of those are in Africa and the other eight are in Asia.

North America, Australia, South America and Europe combined only produce 7% total. How much of that 7% does anybody really think is coming from the US? The source of the problem is obviously Africa and Asia. So rather than bedwetting over the fact that the US hasn’t signed up for this when its not causing the problem anyway, how about focusing on the actual source of the problem.
