The companies creating plastic waste - oil giants, food corporations, global shipping industries - never planned to clean it up. They sold us the myth of recycling while exporting waste to the Global South, polluting the ocean, and tainting our bodies with microplastics for decades. The system isn’t broken. It’s working as designed. Plastic is colonialism in polymer form. It never went “away.”  “The Global North exports its pollution in shipping containers, and calls it recycling. We are the dumping ground for the world’s denial.” - Yuyun Ismawati (Indonesian environmental activist) . . . . . #microplastics #greatpacificgarbagepatch #plasticpollution #zerowaste #noplanetb #rewildordie #anprim #anticiv #anticapitalist #anticapitalism #plasticwaste #recycle #reducereuserecycle♻️ #recycling #environmentalism #environmentallyfriendly #earthfirst #protectourplanet #climatejustice #theindustrialrevolutionanditsconsequenceshavebeenadisasterforthehumanrace
