Despite westerners being lectured by climate activists like Greta Thunberg, a study has found that around 90 per cent of plastic waste polluting earth’s oceans comes from Asia and Africa.
During her U.S. tour, Thunberg cited “horrifying pictures of plastic in the oceans,” as one of the primary reasons why Americans should listen to her.
However, researchers at Germany’s Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research discovered that a small number of rivers account for the vast majority of plastic pollution and none of them are located in western countries.
“The 10 top-ranked rivers transport 88-95 percent of the global load into the sea,” Dr. Christian Schmidt, a hydrogeologist who led the study, told the Daily Mail. “The rivers with the highest estimated plastic loads are characterized by high population – for instance the Yangtze with over half a billion people.”

Africa is also where all desease originate from, we need to burn that continent dry and bare.
And all the snowflakes here that want to ban the plastic straw... You every try and make a hill out of beans ?
And the 2020 Democratic idiots, er, I mean candidates are going to enforce climate change? When pigs fly and Hades freezes over.
Stay anonymous ,10:39, your nihilism is creeping me out.
Let the leftist greenies go to Asia and Africa to protest.
I can understand Africa, as filthy a country as it is. And parts of Asia, not all of it. They are far more advanced than Africa. Then again, so is the rest of the world.

Bob, relax. Some people are grossly under-educated. They can speak and they can write, but they put the words together in a stupid manner.
In the form of humans.
12:27 you speak so much truth, but if you point this out it is "Racist".
