Millions is spent each year on research to get plastic out of the ocean and on improving recycling.

This money is completely wasted when you consider:

>China dumps millions of tons of plastic into the ocean every year to save money for its communist economy
>Europe and America dump millions of tons of plastic into the ocean every year because of consumerism and capitalism
>South America, Asia, and Africa dump millions of tons of plastic into the ocean every year because of corruption and failed governments

Since governments are never going to prevent this, how is this problem going to be solved scientifically?
