That is really not what the US looks like. There is not plastic trash everywhere. There is practically a public trash can on every corner here.
All I am saying is I'm not sure the ideas in this article are a solution.
Maybe this policy would be helpful in the countries that are actually the source of the plastic that is destroying the oceans though.

I can see that UK has such a problem so this article about UK should not upset you, I am glad that US is cleaner (I am wondering if this is the same in poorer cities because your perspective could be biased by your location)
- andygates 7y agoIn the UK, it used to be the norm to see a plastic bag tree, all aflutter with collected trash and generally foul. Since the free bag ban, those have disappeared. You may be young and/or wealthy if you don't remember trash everywhere.
