This single issue alone should be so fucking alarming that the world would out everything on hold to fix this one problem.
Instead we live in a world where this issue is so ti y it barely registers and even if or when it does, nobody gives a shit. Dumb birds shouldn’t be swallowing shit, that’s what you’ll hear, while they load the plastic bottles in their plastic bag.
This is a solvable issue.
Just like the much, much bigger issues
Ukraine? The entire world could join together in a UN that actually does something and send the mother of all armies to Ukraine and drive Russia out, arrest Putin, and get democracy going in Russia.
Same goes for Israel and Palestine. The world could send a massive army, chase Israel out and make it surrender, arrest Netanyahu for war crimes, setup a fair plan for both Israelites and Palestinians, and keep a peace force for a while until they’re all friends
We could really kick climate change’s ass if we wanted to. We could push hard for renewables, we could in 10 year transform all the cities in the world into walkable and cyclable cities with great public transportation. We have the resources.
The rich poor divide? We could tax anyone with a worth over 10 million at 100% and use all that money to invest in all these projects.
All the plastics in the water at this point is a relatively small issue. We can easily filter out the plastics in a few years time, we can tax plastics hard so that companies will make the switch to better materials. It is not THAT hard.
All of this is in the realm of possibilities, but there is no want. People don’t give a shit.

It’s so sad
Agree with all of this
