Hmmm. From the dailymail UK but the date is last Oct. Anyway guess some folks don't much care what green piece and erf first say. So, in order to keep up, guess we need to toss some more plastic into the Mississippi. The list:
Yangtze East China Sea Asia
Indus Arabian Sea Asia
Yellow River Yellow Sea Asia
Hai He Yellow Sea Asia
Nile Mediterranean Africa
Ganges Bay of Bengal Asia
Pearl River South China Sea Asia
Amur Sea of Okhotsk Asia
Niger Gulf of Guinea Africa
Mekong South China Sea Asia

Well ... would it help if we de-industrialize America and tax ourselves into oblivion? Because I suspect that’s going to be the suggested solution.

So we need to send some enzymes to the plastic patch in the Pacific then? Still waiting for the pictures of it from the ISS. Or does the ISS NOT pass over it ever. Someplace I saw that it’s bigger than Texas so it’d be hard to miss right?

Lol! My leftie daughter just gave me a lecture on how horrible it was that Americans use plastic straws, because of the massive damage they do to the oceans. I told her I suspected they were a relatively minor contributor. Turns out dumb old dad was probably right.

Fake news. EVERYONE knows that the U.S. and especially, White, Christian Men are to blame for the plastics pollution.
Nice try science, you can't fool "social justice"...

Wait...wait “Pruitt...flew home in...coach-class seat.”
I wont’ call it “fake news” but this story seems like a lot of fluff wrapped around a very important message — Scott Pruitt likes Coach Class! First Class Hotels and Flights? It’s my secretaries fault!! Don’t Fire me! It’s (sob) not my fault!!

I think it is amazing that the Amazon is NOT in the top ten.
Doesn’t the Amazon drain more land mass then any other river?

Asia and Africa are full of precious minorities. We should not criticize them! Instead, we should raise taxes on Americans to pay for the cleanup of the oceans because their culture is the same as ours...if not superior!

Amazing where all of the “top 10 polluting rivers” are: not Westernized countries.

Don’t Hindu’s have to swim in the Ganges as a form of religious purification or something of that nature?
