Call a war on pollution and stop countries who are pushing their waste into our oceans

The Issue

There is a  massive pollution problem in Asia. China, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam who are dumping more plastic into oceans than the rest of the world combined , according to a 2017 report by Ocean Conservancy. This isn’t just an Asia problem. Plastic is one of the greatest environmental challenges facing the world. The U.S. wasted about 33.6 million tons of plastic, and only 9.5% was recycled. The picture is a river,  that flows or often pushed into our oceans,  this will destroy marine life and take thousands of years to breakdown. We need to stop this not for our generation but for our children and grand children.
