Reply to comment by CivilSympathy9999 in Indonesian program pays fishers to collect plastic trash at sea by NotACapedCrusader1

Almost all the plastic that gets dumped into the river comes out of five rivers around the world. We can do better. Also, scientists are working all the time to try and do things no one thinks is possible, and that is why we currently have the technologies that we do.

I certainly hope they can get a handle on this. To me it seems most of the other environmental issuse can only be seen on paper and such through studies by scientists whose findings or opinions can vary widely. This is one of those things that is more tangible to the lay person. It's absolutely disgusting.
