So the plastics target the national parks. It is good that they avoid populous areas, or we would have a problem.
Do they use Google Maps to get to the parks?

The really impressive thing is how it falls on the National Parks and not everywhere else.

If my math is right, the 1,000 tons over the western U.S. states (1.873 million sq miles) comes to about .9 pounds per sq mile. I don’t know about you but that sounds like an amount nature can manage.

It's all because the movie The Graduate made plastics popular.

50 to 100 tons of cosmic dust settles on the planet daily.
