Don't pollute. I've noticed that is incredibly hard for some people, however.

>plastic coffee cups, trash bags, plastic bags
Who the fuck throws trash out of their car? Scum of the Earth. I heard a distinguishing feature of Americans was their pollution, and I completely agree. We're fucking idiots when it comes to solving the issue of pollution, even when the solution is as simple as NOT doing it.

I'm American so I can only speak for my country, where the per capita carbon footprint is highest in the world.

Boomers and ignorant "it's just a cup" people. I live in a third world country and the only niggers that throw trash from busses are really old people that pretend they do whatever they're older than most and young people that pretends they aren't part of society

Literally die. The solution to all of this planet's current problems is to have significantly fewer humans on the planet. Having children should carry the death penalty.

Quoted By:

I don't know that it needs to be "fixed" but we certainly need to stop disposing of plastic in retarded ways. The plastics we've dumped into the environment continuously degrade into smaller and smaller pieces and will eventually be taken up by the carbon cycle again, so the problem is expensive to solve and eventually sorts itself out provided we stop adding more plastic to the pile. We should study the way that the environment is affected by the plastics and recycle all of it from now on.
