Much of the plastic “collected” for recycling is neatly gathered and then thrown in the nearest clean ocean or wherever it is out of sight, hurting animals, polluting nature, and even us when you zoom out and look at the big picture.

So my question is, why not put it where it’s most inconvenient? Where it hurts businesses and government bodies? Where it’s so bad they can’t ignore it? They’d have no choice but to ban it or heavily regulate it.

Walmart entrances blocked by several dozen emptied bags of plastic garbage, seriously what are they gonna do about it?

Streets full of old tires? Seriously what would they do? Tell us not to throw plastic out? And “please please put it in the garbage instead,” where it collects in trash islands?

“Oh but what if they just leave it there”

No, not if you get creative.

    Probably call some garbage men and have it removed, then installing some security cameras.

      Repeatedly calling and reporting enormous amounts of trash all over the premise that takes thousands in fees to clean and hours to finish? Splendid. Sounds like it’s working.

        Until they start arresting the people doing it and having them pay the fees.
