I think maybe it's about 'turnng a blind eye'. Many people don't think about anything but their own concerns and their own little world. They assume what happens in the Pacific Ocean has nothing to do with them at all.
I always think it's not so much that the plastic bags exist, as what people choose to do with them. Of course, even with a well re-used plastic bag, which hasn't been thoughtlessly discarded, when it becomes unusable any more there is still some plastic to be got rid of.
Well...why aren't they made of recyclable materials? And why aren't ALL plastic tubs, containers, etc made of recyclable material? If these items were, that would be okay, and they could be collected by the recyclers each week.
But people continue to throw their junk away thoughtlessly. Sometimes into a river, or out of their car windows! Those are the ones I CANNOT understand. There are at the moment, about 50 or so energy drink cans which have been just dumped along a grass verge near where I live. I shall collect them up when the weather is better than it was today.
Now why do people do that? It is so easy to just put them out for the recyclers. So that person collected 50 or more cans and then just chucked them on a beautiful country lane!
So it makes me wonder....even if the bags were recyclable, would they meet the same fate with people who only have half a brain?
