I'm so fed up with our government letting companies export plastic waste to developing countries, it's just disgusting — like we're dumping our trash on people who can't even deal with their own. It's not just the environmental damage, it's the sheer hypocrisy of claiming to be a green leader while shipping our plastic problems overseas.
I'd change the rules so that companies can't just export their plastic waste, they have to deal with it here, in our own country, with our own recycling facilities. That means investing in proper recycling infrastructure, not just relying on other countries to take our trash. It's time we took responsibility for our own waste, instead of passing the buck to someone else.
This isn't just about the environment, it's about fairness and justice — why should other countries have to deal with our plastic waste, just because we can't be bothered to sort it out ourselves.
