RE: Small Change, Big Difference: Single Use Plastic Bottles, Straws, and Other Containers

It is such a problem. Both the plastic and styrofoam production and wide use of as well as careless disposal of both. In South Africa it is as bad. People use and drop wherever they are walking or sitting. I often see rubbish thrown out car windows! It's really disgusting. They should be punished with jail time forget fines.

Sort:  

It drives me crazy, and education seems to go so slowly. If they jailed people here, the government would be bankrupt in a week. I think the only way is to teach the young ones. The adults seem unable or unwilling to change. Fines wouldn't work either because they just wouldn't pay them. So very frustrating.

Extremely frustrating!

Yeah. The videos of marine mammals just kill me.
