Reply to comment by jbcmh81 in [OC] Plastic waste emitted to the ocean per country by sometiara1

And the governments of all the countries that export their plastics with full knowledge they're ending up in the ocean

I'm not absolving them, but plenty of nations get trash and it doesn't end up in the ocean to anywhere near the degree that it does in the Philippines. So they should be taking only what they can actually process. Again, they're under no obligation to take anything at all.
