India leads the world in generating plastic pollution, producing 10.2 million tons a year (9.3 million metric tons), far more than double the next big-polluting nations, Nigeria and Indonesia. China, often villainized for pollution, ranks fourth but is making tremendous strides in reducing waste, Velis said. Other top plastic polluters are Pakistan, Bangladesh, Russia and Brazil. Those eight nations are responsible for more than half of the globe’s plastic pollution, according to the study’s data.
The United States ranks 90th in plastic pollution with more than 52,500 tons (47,600 metric tons) and the United Kingdom ranks 135th with nearly 5,100 tons (4,600 metric tons), according to the study.
If you want to do something about pollution, do some activism and hold the polluting countries accountable. Rubbing the plastic containers like you’re sick does absolutely nothing about it. Pollution is a third world problem that affects us all.
If the world ends due to pollution, the culprits will literally be India, China, Nigeria, Pakistan, Russia, Brazil, Bangladesh.
Feel free to recycle dirty plastic 🙂

Тотални глупости – ние да сме се били активирали за пластмасата в Индия.
Пластмасата трябва да я забранят за всичко с еднократна употреба, тогава ще има напредък.
Хвърляйки боклука си на земята, всеки път ли се успокояваш с това, че Индия правела най много боклук в света?
