re: 414 million pieces of plastic found on remote island group in Indian Ocean

Yea, the liberals in my area (smack dab in the middle of the country), where there is basically no dumping or littering to speak of, have been pushing the paper straw and no plastic grocery bags bullshite hard. These are people driven by emotion and wanting to feel good about things rather than actually do meaningful things. America is not the cause of the massive amounts of plastic in the oceans.
