So a few years back social media was going wild over the science journalism headlines, claiming that only 10 rivers in the world contributed like 95% of plastic waste in the oceans, and most of those rivers were in Asia.

Yes, but this could easily be refuted by knowing that rich people are always at fault and that the west is the global bourgeois.

"China is the #1 source of plastic in the ocean because of production!"

"Production for who? PRODUCTION FOR WHO??"
