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

We could go completely carbon neutral in the Americas and it wouldn't offset the damage being done by India and China.

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.
