This makes you hope that biodegradable plastics are improved and become the standard. That would be the most effective solution to the problem.

Your right there Cybr... I think relying on any sort of human restraint is a lost cause at this point...

This makes me really sad. Plastic is only one of a few major human-made catastrophes our oceans are facing.

But we really can't do anything about it.

Imagine what it might do to the plastics industries?
