Billions Of People Plastic Dependent, With Nowhere to Put Their Plastic Trash

Billions of people dependent on plastic lack the infrastructure and means to properly remove and dispose of plastic waste.

Hundreds of millions of people live along rivers, lakes and coastlines where they depend on plastic but have no infrastructure for the proper removal and disposal of their plastic waste. And thus, it gets dumped into rivers, lakes and oceans.

The failure to ensure proper waste management and proper disposal of plastic waste in developing countries, where billions of people live and where billions of people depend on plastic, ensures that the plastic pollution crisis only gets worse.

This means that the mass dumping of plastic waste into rivers, lakes, oceans and land areas continues daily.

The failure to do anything about this crisis, the continued feel good measures that are nothing more than putting fingers in small holes of a large dam about to crumble, ensures a future of plastic contaminated rivers, lakes, oceans and lands.

There are those that profit and feed off of this crisis.

There are the many corporations that make fortunes from the use of plastic, but do nothing to ensure its proper removal and disposal.

There are extremely rich people and other entities that talk about the plastic pollution crisis, but do not lift a single finger to ensure the billions of people now plastic dependent have their plastic trash properly removed and disposed.

The plastic addiction is not going away. People got addicted, but the means of properly disposing of the plastic waste generated by this addiction was never considered.

How is it acceptable for billions of people to use plastic daily, and then have no means of properly disposing of it? Why is there no outcry, no movement, no outrage to ensure proper waste management worldwide (which means employing people)? Why is there no outcry to ensure proper removal of plastic waste already in the environment (which means employing people to do the manual labor needed)? Why is there no outcry to ensure proper disposal of plastic waste everywhere in the world (either by proper burial, or by the burning methods used in Sweden)?

This crisis is not going away. People want to address it on the cheap, which only makes the crisis worse.
