They should just stop accepting the waste from the UK, the US, Germany and Japan and see what happens. The U.S. would literally be drowning in plastic trash in a matter of days. This is a shithole country anyway so why not look the part even more so than it already does?

As I understand, this is already happening, Shelby. New Zealand will adopt a ban on single use plastic bags this year and already none of our supermarkets are dispensing them.

America is a shithole. Think of all the fossil fuel, and goddamed chemical waste, it takes to make the plastic shit. Then they haul that used plastic garbage all the way across the Pacific Ocean.
Think of All the fracked fossil fuel and nuclear energy, gas, coal : it takes to make the plastic shit. The other chemicals and chemical waste pollution. What a goddamned wasteful, unsustainable shithole society this is. Uses. And burns of quadrillion gallons of fossil fuel yearly. People, life and the earth completely expendible

One good thing that’s happening in NZ is that attitudes towards fossil fuels are starting to change. We had a great turnout on our school strike for climate on Friday. Sadly it got hardly any publicity due to 3 days of wall to wall coverage on the mosque shooting. We even had our prime minister attend the protest here in New Plymouth.
