- justinator 8y agoYeah, we're the problem. It's OUR plastic that China isn't allowing in anymore.
- 628C6l0 8y agoNo we're not the fucking problem. We are the good guys.
- justinator 8y agoI would love to think the world is so black and white, but we export plastic to China and now, they don't want it. So. It's always dangerous to think one is on the right side of history.
- 628C6l0 8y agoYou, sir, are exhibiting dangerous relativistic tendencies. It's imperative that this sorry excuse of a country be wiped off the face of the earth
- baxtr 8y agoIt is a very delicate question of responsibility. Developing countries pollute the oceans most, but the source of waste is - to a large degree - western nations. So probably, the best way to put it, is to say that both are responsible. However, now things have changed, with China at least.
