2000 truck loads worth daily....WTF

The world dumps 2,000 truckloads of plastic into the ocean each day. Here’s where a lot of it ends up

Plastic pollution is piling up. Despite efforts to rein it in, only 9% of it is actually recycled.

another thing to mention is China will build on the land no matter what is in the ground, I have seen videos/pics of buildings that fell over and were sitting on dirt. no foundation to speak of. laowhy86 talks about this and his family's personal experience with it.

It's also going to get worse in any area where there's a water shortage (too much water use) - they keep drilling deeper and deeper for water and depleting the water table which contributes to land sinking. And if it's near the ocean, it results in flooding.

So at this point you’ve got a double-barreled problem: The land has sunk and it won’t reinflate, and the aquifers won’t hold as much water as they once did, because they’ve compressed. “And that's an important point,” says Sneed. “As places around the world, including California, are starting to use aquifer systems as managed reservoirs, the compaction of them prior to now has reduced their ability to store water.”

Could fossil fuel companies be charged with homicide?

A new legal theory suggests that oil companies could be taken to court for every kind of homicide in the United States, short of first-degree murder.
