Dark areas = where the most plastic in the ocean and waste originates

Lighter = less waste and pollution

This shouldn't surprise anyone. The dark areas are where a shitload of poor people live. And most of those people dont give a frick about plastic recycling or anything like that.

Says no data, not that theres no plastic waste generated. Also a lot of that area is uninhabited wasteland.

I’m a little fuzzy on my geography, but guessing that’s either a bunch of desert or rainforest

Sea turtles are much more threatened by cigarette filters than straws, and the vast vast majority of cigarette filters that end up in the ocean come from China and India.

It's not that it is uninhabited, it's that it is landlocked. If you notice all the landlocked countries have no data.

The idea being that civilized people have to pick up the slack from the undesirables.

Not a new concept but any means. It's always the responsible ones who have to fix shite that the lazy, dirty, assholes of the world frick up.
