no ,glass, metal, and paper will flow/sink in their rivers now ,LOL
What are all those containers going to be made of if not plastic? Can’t be wood or paper because that’d mean cutting down trees and we can’t have that. Can’t be glass or clay because that involves pollution and causes more globull warming. Can’t be metal because recycling isn’t cost or effort effective.
India is a garbage pit as it is and now they want to ban things like garbage bags??
Imagine how bad that "river" smells.
I bet any American sewage treatment plant looks cleaner.
Top 5 most polluting countries
Excerpted:
1. China (30%)
The world’s most populated country has an enormous export market, which has seen its industry grow to become a serious danger to the planet. In just five provinces, which that host most of these industries ,more dioxide is emitted than in any other country in the world. As a consequence, Beijing has experienced, in recent years, constant red alerts for environmental pollution.
2. United States (15%)
The world’s biggest industrial and commercial power. Although in recent times it has led the most important initiatives to combat climate change, in practice the great majority have been shown to be insufficient. Neither are its pollution levels limited to big cities; many rural areas are also beginning to notice the consequences.
3. India (7%)
Fourteen out of the world’s 15 most contaminated cities are in India, says the World Health Organization. The country has had a law protecting air quality since 1981, but the burning of fossil fuels has grown significantly and as a consequence India occupies third place in the ranking of the most polluting countries in the world.
4. Russia (5%)
The biggest country in the world geographically appears in this ranking for its high dependence on products such as oil, coal, gas and fossil fuels. Also, in the past few decades, it has experienced several environmental emergencies and has high levels of deforestation and animal hunting.
5. Japan (4%)

Nope. This does not affect their own people. Just foreigners on visiting ships.
