It's interesting which topics certain communities are ready to outrage over and completely forget about quantifying... I say this because I've been under the impression recently that: * The USA actually properly landfills the vast majority of its waste these days * Most of the plastics entering the ocean come from improperly disposed waste, and from countries outside the US * The illegal waste shipping to asian countries is mostly from a small pool of shady, bad actors Any waste coming back to the US can be more properly disposed of; we have the infrastructure in place it's just apparently more expensive than scamming Malaysia. I would like to see some actual data before getting all outraged at entire countries and depressed that the USA is shipping all its plastics overseas(it isn't).
