Ever been to Indonesia? Last time there was in the early 1990's. I remember the piles of plastic bags, on some islands a metre high washed off from the beaches.

Finally we're banning plastic bags in OZ we're not the first. Many European countries have. Hope the rest of the world follows.

Spent almost 3 weeks in Vietnam six or seven years ago. Close as I got. Did not happen to see pollution there, although my exposure to coastline was basically Ha Long Bay, which I suspect they make an effort to clean up.

Was in Japan, Hongkong, Thailand, Philipines, several others Those were rather littered places Japan Sasabo and Yokosuka the water was so dirty if you fell in you were going to Captain's mast for harming government property. The buildings were dingy with soot. In Singapore, it was rather clean there.

Since hemp, and/or any waste plant material, can make biodegradable plastic that sea animals can actually safely eat, this is a Big Oil, Oligarchy problem. VOTE the GOP OUT.
