    The top ten rivers in the world dumping rubbish into the ocean are all in Asia and Africa. So what the fuck does that have to do with Trump?

    Just 10 rivers carry 90% of plastic polluting the oceans

    They comprise some of the world's longest rivers, and those with large populations alongside them, research has found.

    Two of them are in Africa - the Nile and the Niger - while the others are in Asia: the Indus, Ganges, Amur, Mekong, Pearl, Hai he, Yellow and Yangtze.

    You sound like a coprophilia expert yourself.

    Exactly why I asked if Red China and India have signed it. I'm guessing NOT...IOW, another bullshit INCOME REDISTRIBUTION SCAM from the UN....MEANINGLESS in terms of limiting plastics pollution of the oceans.
    TRUMP WILL TAKE FORTY STATES...UNLESS THE SAME IDIOTS WHO BROUGHT US THE 2020 DUNCE-O-CRAT IOWA CLUSTERFUCK CONTINUE THEIR SEDITIOUS ACTIVITIES...THEN HE WILL WIN EVEN MORE ..UNLESS THE RED CHINESE AND DNC COLLUDE, USE A PANDEMIC, AND THEN THE DEMOCRATS VIOLATE ARTICLE II OF THE CONSTITUTION, TO FACILLITATE MILLIONS OF ILLEGAL, UNVETTED, MAIL IN BALLOTS IN THE DARK OF NIGHT..

    When Bush invaded Iraq did you ask if Red China and India agreed ?

    Does the US have to wait for approval from Red China and India before it acts ?

    Although it sat out of the decision, the ruling will still apply to the United States when it tries to trade plastic waste to virtually any country in the world.

    We're not a dumpster! Indonesia sends plastic, shoes & DIAPERS disguised as paper waste back to US



    Indonesia says it won’t become yet another world “dumping ground” after it returned five containers of waste back to the US, joining the growing number of Asian nations to recently turn away Western ‘recyclables.’
    The waste arrived in Indonesia from Seattle back in March. The cargo, shipped by a Canadian company, was supposed to contain paper recycling material, but the Environment and Forestry Ministry discovered multiple “impurities” inside five containers and ordered them to be “re-exported.”

    The containers were filled with “significant amounts” of various plastic waste and shoes, in addition to other rubbish such as wood scraps, fabrics and even diapers. “Although the containers were originally from Canada, the country of departure was the US,” said Waste and Hazardous Waste Management Directorate General Secretary Sayid Muhadhar.
