"Make producers pay for the clean up. F them."
Totally agree...but this isn't a lake or local stretch of a river that a pulp mill is polluting, this random/isolated stretches of the ocean where everything ends up.
Does international waters jurisdiction make it harder to make them pay for it (from a legal perspective)?
- alanbernstein 8y agoI couldn't get to the article, but I'm fairly certain there are lakes and/or rivers in the world that are thoroughly polluted with plastic debris?
- nervousvarun 8y agomy point was when this happens (pollution in a river/lake), the legal jurisdiction is a little more black/white. by that i mean it's in one country or one state or one county or whatever so from a government perspective jurisdiction isn't hazy. when it's 1000s of miles from any government in the ocean how does that work legally? who makes the companies pay?
