Then that garbage goes into the landfill, gets sold overseas, falls off the boat and instantly back in its mouth.
Cleaning garbage hardly does anything, it only fixes what you can see then it goes into hiding...everyone needs to stop consuming. Today was garbage day in my neighbourhood..I had 1/2 a black bag and like 3 plastic bottles for 2 weeks. Neighbours threw out 7 bags and 3 recycling bins of plastic.
I also only go through about a bag of trash a week ehile my neighbors go through about 5 or 6 This us because i am a single guy who lives alone while they are a family of 4 with a large dog.
We need both sustainable garbage management and reduced consumption. We can't stop consuming and producing garbage, like every life form, but we have to make it sustainable.
