+OverSword Posted November 14, 2019 #2 Share Posted November 14, 2019 The west pays smaller nations to take a lot of our garbage. It's sad. Plastic is an especially huge issue. We should return to glass, stoneware,paper and aluminium alternatives wherever we can but God forbid we cut into some shareholders dividend check next quarter. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
