      It is more than just cleaning it up. it is taking trash and turning it into something useful, and then producing a product worth buying.
      The United States exports waste plastics to China back when they used to recycle it into plastic materials that are then sold to factories and then shipped back to the USA for you to buy at the store. It stopped recently, but that is because Chinese lawmakers think that recycling is beneath the dignity of China. It is a good baseline economic foundation for nations that are otherwise bankrupt of any other skill set. Waste management is important, and poor nations can use that as a way to boost their industries from the bottom. Scrap metal recycling is similar in this aspect. Africa likes to import scrap metal in the form of old ships to melt them down and resell the metal as newly refined. Some small nations make a pretty penny off of it.

There are enough resources in the US to produce whatever is needed. Our citizens quality of life, financial and political concerns would be far better if we focused on ourselves rather than the rest of the world. I am all for stopping all exports and imports.

I know there are very small companies in the US doing this, but you never hear about them because it's not popular or just too expensive for now. It probably won't be until we run out of the raw materials that make regular bricks will we be forced to switch to using plastics as the raw materials. That being said, I hope Kenya paves the way towards this and proves to other countries that they're lagging behind.

      I have ALWAYS said this! And my mom gets mad at me every time she’s always like “not all humans are” I’m like mom you don’t get what I’m saying! As a species, we are definitely the worst thing that could have ever happened to this planet. It’s sad we aren’t taught that from a young age so that children all over the world can develop better habits across the generations. But no, instead we’re taught this notion that we’re somehow above all the animals, insects, plants, etc and therefore it’s okay if others have to suffer due to our existence. Funny thing is, that notion will be exactly what kills our kind off, in the end. Clearly! Look at all that PLASTIC! 🥵

Fence posts are made of recycled plastic mixture, so is any plastic or rubber construction component. The greyish or brownish plastics you can see all around is all recycled plastic mixture. You can see the little bits that failed to melt and mix when you cut the plastics open.
      Nobody's gonna expect anyone to eat from it, and it is not actually toxic by the virtue of its presence.
      We mow laws with plastic strings, but should be concerned about microparticles on the sidewalk next to it? No, we're just taking what we like, recycling things that can still look pretty and move the ugly out of sight. And it ends up in Africa where they have to actually solve the problem and not just talk about it. It's not like we wouldn't have the tech to resolve issues with it being toxic during production, it's about supply and demand, the wasteful approach of modern countries.

      @@onism8906 trade deals are business terms usually made between rich and poor countries. The stronger nation, usually the west (and China in the last few decades) sets the terms as those in positions of power, where the weaker nation will trade in autonomy in production of the nations current or potential goods and services, valuable resources, ownership of land or resources, and/or government laws and regulations that favor the stronger nation. In exchange, the nation dictating the terms will give them money("aid"), products (food, clothing, cars), or build roads and infrastructure for them.
      This framework was set in place of colonialism, to ensure these nations never industrialize with their valuable resources, and become works competitors.
