That is not true.Quote from: "Bricktop"
90% of plastic waste in oceans comes from Africa and Asia.
ALL Australian coastal cities have refuse traps built into the drainage into the sea. Very little plastic waste finds its way into our oceans. Some does...thrown from boats by idiot fisherman or pleasure cruise drunks, but Australia's contribution is miniscule to the global catastrophe.
It's reckless and irresponsible 3rd world countries messing up the sea...
Actually, it's just ten rivers in Africa and Asia are responsible for 90 per cent of the plastic in our oceans..
Australia, Canada, USA and Europe are not responsible for it.
Study finds some of the world's largest rivers, including the Nile and the Yangtze, are responsible for the majority of plastic pollution affecting the sea.
