After we drill for all this oil, we ship it overseas where it's turned into plastics that are quickly thrown away and eventually end up as pollution in the ocean... ☹️

But it's good for the economy!

Ocean plastic pollution to quadruple by 2050, pushing more areas to exceed ecologically dangero

Current projected growth in plastic pollution will cause significant ecological risks, with certain pollution hotspots like the Mediterranean, the East China and Yellow Seas, and the Arctic sea ice already exceeding ecologically dangerous threshold of microplastic concentrations. Negative impact

@breadandcircuses This really isn’t going to end well. Even if magically all new plastic production ended today it would be bad. It is bad. But years more of this madness?? Between plastics and climate we are on a slow train headed over a cliff. It’s heartbreaking.

@breadandcircuses What an ugly thing to be part of. Ocean plastic pollution from plastics from petroleum.
