Landmark plastic talks collapse with the U.S. opposing key production limits | The multiyear attempt to curb global plastic pollution is at an impasse, with the U.S. set against the production limits that many nations see as the main solution.

  1. Of course it had to be MY country that killed it. I will never understand republicans. They don’t just seem ambivalent about the environment. They seem to actively hate it and want to destroy it, they take joy in destroying it.

  2. So now we are playing on the side of the evil empire. 

  3. Fuck the US. Truly. Like what the actual fuck.
    I don’t understand how one country can derail this?

    If the majority of countries are on board with production limits, then move forward with that and don’t purchase US produced plastics beyond a set limit.

    It is INSANE to let a singular country dictate an incredibly pressing environmental AND public health issue that affects ALL OF US. Like this isn’t just an environmental initiative, every single one of us is filled to the brim with microplastics. Microplastics are being passed to infants in utero for Christ sake.

    I’m so sick of this shit. Fuck the US with a white hot poker up the nostril.
