Nearly all the world's countries sign deal to prevent plastic waste – except US
Almost all the world’s countries have agreed on a deal to improve the way they deal with plastic waste and prevent so much of it from getting washed or dumped into oceans and rivers – with the glaring exception of the United States, the United Nations announced on Friday afternoon.
A “legally binding framework” that affects thousands of types of plastic waste emerged at the end of a two-week meeting of UN-backed conventions on plastic waste and toxic, hazardous chemicals that threaten the planet’s seas and creatures.
Rolph Payet of the United Nations Environment Program says the “historic agreement” linked to the 186-country, UN-supported Basel convention signatories, meeting in Geneva, Switzerland, means countries will have to monitor and track movements of plastic waste outside their borders.

Trump is a true patriot. He knows that many American jobs depend upon killing the oceans with garbage.
Besides , the Chinese have ceased importing American shit for processing. This will teach them a lesson. Ya. Boo. Sux.
