Maps showing plastic pollution sources

I maintain that no piece of plastic I have ever been responsible for has ended up in the oceans. At least since my 20s. Can’t be certain for when io was a kid…

I also maintain ain’t no one wants to go back to a plastic free world. Plastic is just too useful product. For instance, who wants to go back to bottle return? (link to examples at the phillipines coke & egg store webcam.

Need to focus on the real bad cases. Looking at you Philippines, India, Brazil, China, and most of the Asia Pacific countries.

Note that these maps & charts are not verified by me. Grabbed from Interent browsing so the usual caveats apply. But there are certain obvious trends here.
