Reading a lot of the names is hard since half of them are upside down. I also have to really zoom in to be able to read any of the countries, which isn't great design either. I would rather have maybe just the top 20, plus a few additional notable countries with a large population.

Also, the total plastic waste is hard to compare across countries given the circular nature of the presentation which is compounded by using the area of a circle to show total volume, so it just clutters up space without really adding much in my opinion.

​

From a distance though, and without trying to really get any information from the plot, it is very pretty!

Uhh, the Indian premier league makes 3x the revenue per game compared to the mlb https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_professional_sports_leagues_by_revenue.

Cricket is way more popular in Commonwealth countries than baseball (England, West Indies, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan, India etc) while baseball is more popular in countries strongly influenced by the USA (Japan, S. Korea, Dominican republic, Puerto Rico etc)
