This is a climate related comment.
On the news some hours ago they mentioned the story on findings of micro plast in the ice and water around Arctic/Antarctica(can't remember exactly where and when)
(Let see how much I can remember from this 5 minute long reportage)
Take the short version
A journalist was standing in front some river bed in India and in the background you could see piles of garbage in and near the river
he said
A majority of the worlds river is placed in Asia.
While we Danish people can throw our waste in a waste bin and sort our waste
People in India can't do that, they aren't exactly enemy of the environment they just don't have a waste bin where they can throw their garbage and they do not have a renovation program in which they can sort out their trashes
We are not better.
A huge part of the plastic we throw in our recycling bin, isn't being recycled..the company load it on a ship transport it to some country in Asia and dump it there, while they pay some politicians and some authorities under the table
(this was in the news some month ago)
