Why do thirdies love to throw trash in the ocean?

Almost all of this is from export-oriented industry.

I see so many pinoys online cope with the fact that most garbage in this photo are by private companies hoarding garbage from other countries. It's not true.

Dude, I just go outside and see locals throwing trash everywhere. Clean the ground and the next minute someone's already littering, every spotless place they see is like flies attracted to dog shit.

No it should be much better regulated, but that requires western consoomers be willing to pay more.

>another thirdie rhetoric
>conveniently forgets Sweden's historical dumping of toxic waste in Somalia during the 1980s
90% of oceanic plastic originates from just 10 rivers, all of which flow through industrialized nations outsourcing manufacturing to the Global South.
Fuck off back to IKEA and suck on Mehmet's meatballs

SAAARRR THE CIA MADE ME DUMP THAT PLASTIC IN THE OCEAN SSAAAAAARRR

In the 90s we had paper bags and glass bottles
Around 2000 things like lays started showing up in the market and by 2005 full effects of 1991 economic reforms (opening up to the west) started showing up. Glass bottles (coca cola, frooti etc.) got replaced by PET bottles (celebrities promoted it like it is a hip thing). India's population has nearly doubled from 1991 and nearly 1.5x'd from 2001 (when we hit 1 billion officially). India was never ready for plastic waste management.

In 15 years you'll start seeing a similar crisis of ewaste from smart phones

You know when you put trash in the recycle bin? That trash get shipped to the 3rd world to be "recycled". The West get to literally wash its hands of plastic waste while corrupt 3rd world companies simply dump the trash into the ocean and pocket the money. We are putting a stop to this.

>>221345578
EU (and first world in general) consumption is the cause of most of this thoughbeit
companies outsource to avoid environmental regulations and first world governments turn a blind eye to this
