The Plastic Age Is a Feature of the American Zeitgeist
The illustration here comes from “The Story of Stuff” project, whose efforts in environmental and social justice are legendary.
This civilization is having the devil’s own time dealing with waste plastic. There are now 4 trillion pieces of plastic in our oceans, soon to outnumber the entire population of fish.
The issue is a blend of corporate greed and consumer indifference.
Americans used about 50 billion plastic water bottles last year. However, the U.S.’s recycling rate for plastic is only 9 percent (and declining), which means over 40 billion water bottles – more than $1 billion worth of plastic – are wasted each year.
Bottled water companies keep pumping them out, and consumers keep buying them. One side or the other, preferably both, need to back off. Unfortunately, that’s not part of the American zeitgeist right now.

From this post: This was done so professionally it even lists the Correlation Coefficient. We bet the college degree snobs would argue Trump’s supporters have no clue what that is. But hey, at least they have no college debt.
Someone sent me this meme featuring California Governor Gavin Newsom with the note: He truly is bonkers. Everything he touches winds up in misery.
More good news. From 
No wonder Trump supporters are pulling their hair out when they see the progress the Biden administration is making.
Surely there are dozens, probably hundreds of cartoons depicting Trump as he continues to single-handedly destroy the Republican party, but this one really spoke to me for its cleverness and simplicity.
