@l4dybug: China and Indonesia are the top sources of plastic bottles, bags and other rubbish clogging up global sea lanes. Together, both nations account for more than a third of plastic detritus in global waters.

In 2010, 8.8 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from China with an estimated 3.53 million metric tons of it ending up in the ocean. A total of 3.2 million metric tons of mismanaged plastic waste came from Indonesia and it is estimated that 1.29 million metric tons became plastic marine debris. The United States is also guilty of polluting oceans with plastic, but at a much lower level than China. Annually, 0.11 million metric tons of waterborne plastic garbage comes from the United States.

The French company, once a dominant force in many Chinese cities, saw its sales in the market fall 5.9% to €4.1 billion ($4.67 billion) last year."

@michael2015 Nope I don't read French. Do you?

It just seems to me that there is a bit of hypocrisy in playing hall monitor and trying to regulate the behavior of others whilst be guilty of the same major infraction. But then if one finds the need to comment or question everyone else's errant posts by assuming some sort of authority, I guess that would remain one of those slightly humorous behaviors that must endure in life.
