Why? Why not just shoot it down/up instead? Enough lasers could probably do something. Or what if we shoot the debris with some sort of gas to knock it out of orbit?

>Just gotta catch it first.

At least Coca Cola stood up to voter suppression laws. Makes up for the plastic waste.

Makes sense now...I wonder if the US would be first on the list should they stop shipping these plastics...

How long before there's too much debris to travel into space?

Every year will be unprecedented until we make stern laws about production.

How in the fuck did we not learn after what we did to the planet? Oh right, it’s cheaper to dump things.

One of the early shuttle flights came back with a pea-sized divot in the windshield. NASA later determined the ship collided with a paint flake.

hard to say. i really don't know what you have in mind.

but if for some reason each human decided he/she would break ties with all other humans and keep to himself/herself to keep from putting something into "the system," i guess we might find examples of some fishermen eating well for a time, depending on their whereabouts (if they can labor for themselves in their environment within your hypothetical), but humankind wouldn't last too long.

is that what you're asking? if you have other ideas in mind and want to paint a picture, by all means. but can we agree first that humans are social creatures?

How about we hold those responsible accountable and get them to clean it up? Elon Musk is still alive and he's currently adding to it. Why is it always our job to be the peasants that clean up after

We ship it there first.

"Due to the environmental risks and economic benefits, global plastic waste trade flows from high-income countries to low-income countries have become a routine since the late 1990s."

Underrated and awesome.

We barely clean up earth junk. it would be cool if we focused on that

"Contribute labor" as in "put something into the system that you are taking resources from"

That is actually quite interesting, surprised the US isnt in the top 10...

What happens to those who refuse to live under liberal democracy?

As for ML countries: generally countries that are happy and healthy do not experience communist revolutionaries seizing power. Generally they come to power in countries experiencing apocalyptic conditions and historically, were immediately in the ironsights of the US and it's subsidiaries, eventually literally, during the course of the cold war. Generally you don't win wars by being ethical, and that's exactly what the cold war was, a war.

As for democide: isn't that every country?

No... the bottom line is having no one left to sell to.

Can't get lower, I am the limbo champion.

No limit on manufacturing and packaging use, that will be unlimited and undefined. But let’s all comes together and “do something”
