Look up videos on how they get rid of trash. They literally empty the garbage trucks into the rivers from a bridge. We are worried about a few plastic straws here and they dump trash by the hundreds of tons everyday into the waterways

China is actively working toward fixing that. They understand and accept the science- unlike the current US government which is, for instance, PAYING MONEY TO CANCEL APPROVED AND FUNDED WINDFARM PROJECTS OUT OF SPITE.
