I don’t subscribe to the left’s hysteria, especially climate change BS. However, it seems to me that we do discard a lot of plastic items that do not degrade for many years. I would go so far as to say that the mountains of plastic thrown away each day is more of a environmental problem than the glo-bull warming/climate change hoax.Except it isn't our (America's) plastic that ends up in the ocean. A huge amount of that plastic comes from 3rd world countries that don't bother to properly dispose of their garbage.
More than half the plastic in the ocean comes from these five countries
China, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
