Mother Nature (WRATH)

[12yearplan]

Great Mariner, remember one factoid that half of garbage dumps are plastic which some companies are buying to 'mine' for diesel fuel and chemical components.

On another note;

"The effects of plastic on nature and human health are hard to gauge. Most polymers are chemically inert. That makes them durable. It also makes them less likely to be a health risk to humans and beasts. As a pollutant, their impact is much lower than less tangible menaces. By one estimate, the environmental and social costs of plastic run to $139bn a year, chiefly from the greenhouse gases produced in its production and transport. The figure for farming is $3trn. Fertiliser run-off alone causes $200bn-800bn worth of damage to the ocean, compared with $13bn from plastic marine litter. Then look at the alternatives. A cotton tote bag must be used 131 times before its carbon footprint improves on that of a throwaway carrier bag.
This does not stop plastic from being a problem..."
