How plastic pollution poses challenge for Canada marine conservation

Justin do something finally...

Not only Canada this a worldwide problem.

Not only Canada this a worldwide problem.

The plastic pollution shows that we humans are stupid, egotistic and short-sighted creatures who do not care about the common good and about the next generations. However, while the plastic pollution converts our planet into a pile of rubbish, there is another manifestation of the same stupidity that is much more dangerous and is in fact deadly – the continued reliance on carbon for producing energy, which yields the rapid warming up of our planet.

The remaining roughly two percent, or 90,000 tons, ended up in the environment.

Only TWO percent? Sure that is too much, is it that bad? Has the writer tried to find out what the figure for e.g. China is? I very much doubt that much of Great Pacific Garbage stems from Canada.

One thing they are certain to find, besides useless biodegradable forks, along the Saint Lawrence River is raw sewage. Between 2012 and June 2024 the City of Montreal only recorded 66 times out of 500 when fecal coliform counts fell below the safe threshold.

In Canada, the left have made "plastic" their signature issue regardless that only 2% of plastic waste ends up in the environment. Just like everything else 2% of people cause 98% of the problems and that number is not going to change. There will always be people in the cities who dump their old tires, old clothes and junk out in the countryside and that is not going to change.

The easy low hanging fruit to improve on in Canada is to stop dumping poop into the Saint Lawrence River.

Also this article is disingenuous and full of misinformation as it is clearly about Canada but brings in stats and "facts" from outside of Canada and tries to apply them to Canada creating a very false, what some might call fake, impression.
