Trump Signs Save Our Seas Act to Protect Oceans From Trash

Posting fake pictures make you feel better? Only 6 more years to go. lol

Except the USA doesn't recycle more than a small fraction of its recycled materials. And a 100%? Maybe for nearly infinite money, sure.

Yeah. Duh. Along with ever larger amounts of deadly toxins, strange exotic sometimes very long-lived industrials in multiple products, for instance gas fracking processes, which can't be known about because what these companies is SECRET!

Yes, these wastes are often manufactured in other countries than the USA because the USA is contracting and BUYING the results of these wastes because the USA allows these products to be purchased for USA businesses and customers. But then Righties BLAME those places where America buys the poisons.

Nice to see the fake feel-good Right Wing stories that they have no idea what to do to clean up the oceans and the planet!

It's quite funny to say have a "value" of 20 cents, essentially saying there is no way to prevent the millions of pounds of plastics pouring into the earth!

But the only that matters how much it costs to prevent the DAMAGE from these practices dump on our planet and ecosystems, and what how much it costs to clean it up before these messed get utterly toxic. Its WAY more expensive than 20 cents per pound, way higher.

(Of course, it's way cheaper to not dump the trash in the first place.)

 

Just 10 rivers deliver 90% of the Ocean plastic, and no, none of them are ours.

Just 10 rivers are carrying 90% of the plastic entering the oceans, a study has found.

Two of them are in Africa - the Nile and the Niger - while the others are in Asia: the Indus, Ganges, Amur, Mekong, Pearl, Hai he, Yellow and Yangtze.

We should slap tariffs on the countries polluting the ocean with plastic to pay our costs of cleaning it up.

 

Thanks for the hyperbole and uninformed talking points.

Interesting you spent so much time on a worthless response.

 

Maybe his message that the waste is 20 cents a pound meant to you that he’s saying there’s no way to prevent the waste in the ocean but he never said that. My interpretation of it is that there is incentive to clean up the waste because the waste is worth 20 cents a pound.

 

Bingo!

There are extreme measures in place in Southern California to deal with people throwing trash in the gutter. Signs everywhere, including messages painted on sidewalks near storm drains. Yet, huge quantities of trash end up in the storm drains which eventually end up in the Ocean.

They close the beach in front of my home after every storm because of high bacteria counts in the water.

If we can't control the trash being flushed into the ocean in a place where there is a high level of public awareness, how is anyone going to control the trash from the many nations that also drain into it?

Industry and commercial opportunity can provide a solution. That trash has value. That's just a fact. Capturing that value in a viable way is an intelligent way to deal with the issue.

 

So what about my actual posts about the manufacturing and use of straws and plastic?

 

What about it? If you want to stop the entry of plastic into the oceans, clearly you focus on these 10 rivers that introduce 90% of it!

 

Why would you respond to my post, in particular, if you have no opinion about the content of it?

 

My opinion is that the focus should be on the gross polluters, Silly!

 

I wondered if any butthurt lefties would find anything negative to say. Needless to say you never let me down.
