Government Created The Plastic Straw And Pollution Problem By Banning Hemp

• http://www.dcclothesline.com, by John Vibes

The recent ban of plastic straws in numerous municipalities throughout California is a striking example of how the government passes revenue generating laws in a frantic attempt to solve problems of their own making.

There is no doubt that plastic pollution is a serious problem that needs to be addressed by the people of the planet. According to a report published by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, by the year 2050, there will be more plastic in the oceans than there are fish. Right now, one garbage truck of plastic is dumped into the ocean every minute.

This disturbing reality is underscored by the recent discovery of another giant patch of plastic—bigger than Mexico—floating in the South Pacific Sea. It was discovered by Captain Charles Moore, who found the North Pacific Garbage Patch in 1997.
