U.S. Is the Top Contributor to Plastic Waste

“The United States ranks as the world’s leading contributor of plastic waste and needs a national strategy to combat the issue,” the Washington Post reports.

“Overall, the United States produced 42 million metric tons of plastic waste in 2016 — almost twice as much as China, and more than the entire European Union combined.”

Sara Goddard says the worst is yet to come and no, recycling is not the best solution.
