Commander McBelch Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 It isn't getting recycled. It's just getting dumped, literally, on other nations. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/oct/05/huge-rise-us-plastic-waste-shipments-to-poor-countries-china-ban-thailand-malaysia-vietnam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or communism, or socialism or anarchy or theocracies... The list goes on. What we need is government to just simply get out of the way and let the REAL scientists figure out what to do with so much trash in a responsible way. You're getting what you see now when you put politicians in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once upon a time, gasoline had been considered by the big oil companies to be a useless waste product and openly dumped into rivers and lakes. Later, some genuine scientists who were not in any way beholden to the politicians found a practical use for the substance. It is now a valuable commodity that doesn't get dumped anywhere. Had the same strangling regulations been in place so long ago, we would still to this day have lakes full of gasoline and streets practically paved with horse pooty. And no, I'm not going to entertain anybody with a biased agenda who is going to base his conclusions on cherry picked or fabricated data. Those are not real scientists, regardless of title or position. Edited October 25, 2021 by Commander McBelch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
