STORY AT-A-GLANCE

  • Evidence suggests plastic recycling efforts can have only a minor impact even under the best of circumstances, since plastic can, at best, be recycled once, due to degradation
  • Since 1950, the world has created 6.3 trillion kilograms of plastic waste, and 91% of it has never been recycled
  • Many recycling facilities cannot process mixed plastics, even though many mixed plastic products are marked and marketed as being recyclable
  • Earth Island Institute filed a lawsuit against 10 major companies at the end of February 2020, in an effort to force them to take responsibility and pay for the environmental and ecological destruction their products are causing
  • New Mexico Senator Tom Udall introduced new legislation — the Break Free From Plastic Pollution Act of 2020 — which would have held companies that profit from plastic accountable for the pollution they create

About michael burgwin

A child of the peace and antiWar movements, a Truther with self-diagnosed Opposition Defiance Disorder, formerly politically liberal tho now politically marooned, and Post-Doomer, on any issue, I trend to the conspiracy side, sort through the absurd, fantastical and insane, until I find firm ground usually located just the other side of the censorship firewall of propaganda and orthodoxy, dogma, and other either / or thinking.
