With all due respect, @CanaryInTheTemple, taking away conveniences from Western civilization probably won’t do much (if anything) to reduce the garbage patch in the ocean—most (if not all) of that garbage came from Third World countries. Perhaps Western civ can go scoop up the garbage periodically to help our disadvantaged neighbors and prevent any plastic from breaking down & poisoning the environment! Personally, I don’t like man-boobs, but I do like sanitary shopping bags! 😊
