US Should Create Strategy by End of '22 to Reduce Increasing Ocean Plastic Waste
&gt; <i>to reduce increasing</i><p>e.g. not to stop it but to make it increase less but still increase?<p>what we need is a total ban on any plastics. I get free plastic bags doing groceries in Rome, Italy and it&#x27;s 2021. All of this is going too slow. The whole recycling industry even in Germany, Switzerland and Austria is literal garbage and I hope that instead of talking a big game and making people think we make a difference with 5 different colors of containers we can solve this where it needs to be solved? The price of using plastic needs to be taxed into oblivion so that it is no longer economically feasible to destroy the planet with this shit.<p>edit: unlike most of you I have seen many beaches in South-East Asia when I was really young, ... these places were free of plastics&#x2F;garbage and full of marine life and animals that thrived along the coastline. These romantic lone islands ... they are garbage dumps now with fresh new garbage floating in every morning. None of you will ever experience them the same way as I had the opportunity to unless you&#x27;re looking forward to go snorkeling in a garbage dump. My generation is the one that deserves the blame and I hope they get held accountable and has been robbed of the opportunity to see these things that my generation had.
