Wonderful solution. How do you plan to get outfits like China and, say, Russia to join in this effort? You guys sound like Californians.
The Russians have nothing to do with it. But the Chinese do.
There are two issues here I think.
The first is taking plastic out of the diet of children. There is a lot an individual can do about that. Begin with no sea salt, no saltwater fish and no plastic bottles.
The second issue is environmental pollution. With this it's a mixed bag. Most of us would be dead within a few days if we completely got rid of plastics. No power or water or transport to begin with. You may think avoiding plastic bags is pissing in the wind and there is an element of truth in that, but in my country individual action has from time to time made a difference.
Ocean pollution is another matter. Ninety percent of all the plastic in the world's oceans comes from just 10 rivers: The Yangtze, the Indus, Yellow River, Hai River, the Nile, the Ganges, Pearl River, Amur River, the Niger, and the Mekong in that order.
You'll note the over representation of China. What can you do about that? Put your thinking cap on Russ. Help with the cooking or get out of the kitchen.
