UN Says Slashing Plastic Pollution by 80% by 2040 is Possible

Europeans are less stupid than Americans.

I think it’s pretty well entirely due to the obesity differential. You could point at other things, but I truly believe it all goes back to the fact that Americans are so fat that they cannot think properly, due to the fat in their brains.

“Angry retarded girl say windmill? We do windmill, stop tornado and earthquake.”

Anyway, Americans will believe that carbon dioxide is the only form of pollution that exists. Europeans are more likely to ask “what about plastic tho?”

The Guardian:

Global plastic pollution could be slashed by 80% by 2040, according to a report from the UN Environment Programme (Unep). The changes needed are major, but are also practical and affordable, the agency said.

The first step is to eliminate unnecessary plastics, such as excessive packaging, the report said. Then next steps are to increase the reuse of plastics, such as refillable bottles, boosting recycling and replace plastics with greener alternatives.

Such a shift, driven by government policies and changes in the plastic industry, would mean plastic pollution would drop to about 40m tons in 2040, rather than 227m tons if no action is taken.

The changes would bring benefits worth trillions of dollars between now and 2040, the report said, by reducing the damage caused by plastics to health, the climate and the environment.

Plastic now contaminates the entire planet, from the summit of Mount Everest to the deepest oceans. People consume microplastics via food and water, as well as breathing them in, and the particles have been found in people’s blood and breast milk.

In March 2022, 193 countries agreed to end plastic pollution, with negotiations on a legally binding agreement by 2024 now under way, hosted by Unep. The second round of negotiations starts on 29 May. The world currently produces 430m tons of plastics a year, two-thirds of which are short-lived products that soon become waste. Production is set to triple by 2060 on current trends.

They’re not actually going to do this.

They don’t care about plastic. They don’t care about anything other than restricting the use of “fossil fuels,” because:

  • This is a way to control the world and force people into poverty, and
  • They know “fossil fuels” are the only efficient fuels that actually work, and they want to save them for the future.

But they will jerk you off with a paper straw if you ask about plastic, I guess.
