The indigenous people of China are dumping rather a lot of plastic into the ocean.

- fennecfoxy 3y agoI don't have a factory that produces plastic, yet somehow I'm always recycling plastic that the products I consume are packaged with. Hmmmm.
- gitaarik 3y agoThe society you grew up in produces plastic. Indigineous people didn't use plastic before they became westernized. Is that so hard to understand?
- ClumsyPilot 3y ago> dumping rather a lot of plastic into the ocean Half of that plastic is fraudulently shipped there by western 'recycling' companies. There is literally mafia that takes money of western companies, forges recycling documents. And when a reporter goes overseas to find out id the plastic is being revycled, sometimes they don't come back. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51176312 https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-51176312 https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jul/23/uks-plastic-waste-may-be-dumped-overseas-instead-of-recycled https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2018/jul/23/uks-plas...
