If we had less people companies would dump twice the amount of plastics in the ocean

You going to try and explain this then?

Wasn't me who posted it, but the way I see it, here's how it makes sense in a sort of rough common sense way:

They dump as much as they can get away with. Roughly speaking, half the people, half the regulators, half the people bringing down the cost of labor needed to dispose of it properly, half the researchers making it easier.

While yes it would also mean half the plastics produced in the first place, it doesn't really matter, the companies dump as much as they can get away with.

Okay? What a weird thing to say

Says the person who called me dense, and then had to really reach to try and justify how the comment they called me dense over could possibly make sense.
