Agreed. Off the coast of LA, I just learned that companies were dumping thousands of DDT barrels for decades. "Landfills could hold only so much, and people were concerned about burning toxics into the air — but the Pacific Ocean seemed a good alternative. Explosives, oil refinery waste, trash and rotting meats all went into the ocean, along with beryllium, various acid sludges, even cyanide." [1] Companies were dumping and putting out of site. Much harder to burn it and avoid getting caught. Third world countries are also taking first world trash and then dumping massive amounts into rivers and the ocean. Cleaning up the ocean is a hell of a lot harder than cleaning up the air or the ground.
