Shocking report reveals that 95% of plastic polluting the world's oceans comes from just TEN riversincluding the Ganges and Niger

But let's make our lives miserable!

No surprise, China is a big polluter, alongside India. The two non-Asian rivers in the top 10 are the Nile and Niger.

Of all the things in my life I take for granted, there are two that I do NOT:

1.) Running water

2.) Clean water

I marvel at, and am thankful that I can go to nearly any water faucet, in or on nearly any building in the United States, and with a degree of safety, put my mouth right under the tap and drink without worrying too much about getting something bad.

That is pretty impressive. And I don’t take it for granted.

But, but I thought it was the USA that was the big polluter of the world and we had to pay the third world for our sins..(?)

Imagine requiring (and verifying) that the countries doing our off-continent, outsourced work have the same health, safety and workplace standards as in America?

They’d become uncompetitive within a year.
