This is a huge problem. With micro plastics showing up in our food and plastics replacing the sand on beaches we are on the verge of seeing something catastrophic happen to nature. They say in a couple of 10s of years plastic will out weigh all the sea life in the ocean.

That polyester in your shirt for example contributes to the micro plastic in the ocean just so you know

In my opinion we should be cleaning out the Oceans of plastic before we go full retard taxing our prople to death just to save the world from 0.2% CO2...

That an actually protect our forests too...

Yup. I was happy with paperbags but environmentalists weren't.

Paper bags are made out of a renewable, recyclable materials often made from planted trees that remove atmospheric CO2 as they grow. Environmentalists have to think a little harder.

"Whale Found Full of Plastic Bags"

For a second I thought this topic was going to be about a Hedy Fry shopping spree.
