100% agree with you! To clean up the world of plastics, we shall not only clean the results, but also change behaviours of people. By travelling the world, I was astonished when I saw companies (like hotels and restaurants) burn their waste, or simply throw it wherever they can. Being from Europe, we are also to blame. Recently it was in the news European companies sell the waste to Asian companies and some of these are dumping the waste again; The Malaysian government stated they wanted to do something against these companies, including the European; WTF? Can we let this happening by the EU and our governments? Few years ago, it was discovered waste is simply pushed into old caves or mixed with concrete used to build new buildings in Italy where the mafia is owning the waste business in the southern part of the country. Really? Is this still possible in the 21st century in the EU? Anyways, I believe all of use shall be more responsible, use less plastics, ask for bio degradable plastics instead, change the culture with bottom-up approach, while at the same time we shall do whatever is needed to make sure we do not damage the environment further and give people back nature so they can live in harmony with it.
