Part of the issue was that recycling was going TOO well, and there became an over abundance of recycled product that could not be re-used. We became victims of our own desire to help the planet. Paper is the easiest to recycle. Plastic isn’t. The 100 mile long plastic island in the ocean is mostly the fault of Japan who seems to not care, but there is an operation afloat (literally) to recover most of that plastic, where whales, porpoises, turtles, and large fish are the victims of that “I don’t give a rats butt” attitude. Some whales are back on the endangered species list because of it.
Living in a fly-over state, no ocean to dump my trash into so it goes into landfills that eventually get covered in grasses. So I wonder, if we stop recycling plastics, will the amount of NEW micro-plastics drop because we just bury them? I don’t know and would love to see serious answers on this.

They’re not telling the whole story. Lacking information leads to inaccurate decisions.

put your plastic in the landfill trash, let it find its way into the waterways, wait a few years and pick it up off the beach on Midway Island.
