    […] the next you see whole rivers covered in plastic waste flowing out into the ocean from certain countries.

    Which is why they’re working on exactly that

      Same issue though; it shouldn’t end up in the rivers either. The rivers were just an example in relation to the ocean patches specifically. Plastics shouldn’t end up in the environment at all. Catching it a step earlier, is still treating the symptom instead of the cause.
