When I lived in West Africa I took up surfing. A plastic bag or a diaper or a food wrapper would slap against my leg every other wave. That’s when I really grokked that the global south is bearing the brunt of the world’s plastic problem.

The global south tends to be the place that dumps it in the oceans.

Whichbis obvious if you visit any of these places.
The "first world" has the most restrictive and authoritarian plastic policies but also the best waste management. I can't get a plastic bag from a store to use twice as a garbage bag because some guatemalan throws their coke bottlen in the river.
End user responsibility. If i make wooden spoons and you use them to clog up your nose, am i responsible as a spoon exporter ?
No.
But for some reason my rich neighbor will ban wooden spoons because of your behavior.
