The UK has a good idea to keep plastic out of our oceans.

BBC News - People in England will soon have to pay a deposit when they buy drinks bottles and cans in a bid to boost recycling and cut waste.

"UK consumers use around 13 billion plastic drinks bottles a year but more than three billion are not recycled."

It's probably a worse problem in Idiot America. If the world was not infested with idiots all plastic would get recycled instead of being thrown into the ocean.

"Mr Gove said the 5p levy put on plastic bags proves how effectively the UK can respond as consumption of single-use carrier bags is down 83%."

"He said it was vital to act, pointing to two reports last week."

"One said plastic pollution in the sea would treble in a decade unless marine litter is curbed."

"The other warned that the Great Pacific Garbage Patch - an artificial island of plastic material twice the size of France - is thought to contain 79,000 tonnes of floating waste - that is up to 16 times more plastic and microplastic particles than previously estimated."
