    The whale could’ve at least dropped them off near the shore instead of back in the middle of the ocean.

      It’s presumably in one of the bags.

    Then that garbage goes into the landfill, gets sold overseas, falls off the boat and instantly back in its mouth.

    Cleaning garbage hardly does anything, it only fixes what you can see then it goes into hiding…everyone needs to stop consuming. Today was garbage day in my neighbourhood…I had 1/2 a black bag and like 3 plastic bottles for 2 weeks. Neighbours threw out 7 bags and 3 recycling bins of plastic.

    Stop consuming

      Our local garbage goes to a local landfill that’s properly maintained.

      There’s a lot of problems with consumption, and plastics especially need to be phased out, but some areas do handle waste responsibly.

        Parks look happy too after people pickup trash and just relocate it…doesn’t mean the problem is actually solved

        Plot twist - OP’s neighbor’s house actually has 20 people living in it. Per person, they’re producing less waste than he is.

      We need both sustainable garbage management and reduced consumption. We can’t stop consuming and producing garbage, like every life form, but we have to make it sustainable.
