> plastics are now drowning the ocean

Virtually all of that comes from just a small number of nations that dump trash in rivers, and the rest from lost fishing gear.

The ocean plastic is not from household plastic use/trash in places that might recycle it. So instead of working on recycling, maybe we should work on getting those countries proper trash service.
