Over 180 countries -- not including the US -- agree to restrict global plastic waste

Such an embarrassment. We used to lead the world, now, because morons like Whell voted an ignorant fool into the presidency, we’re the Alabama of the world.

U.S.A if not the worst contributor to the problem much like with CO2 and waste in general. We as a country well deserve the soon to be all to apparent hatred and distaste for our wasteful ways.
There should of been a forced recycle and deposit on all plastic products from day one.

I was shown once by a chemist that any plastic container uses 1/3 of it's volume in petroleum for manufacture and transport. Not a byproduct of the oil and gas industry but what would otherwise be used for fuel.
