Tesla Bankruptcy Looms!

Link (to phony controversy story)

The 96-page report comes amid an ongoing controversy over plastic bags and plans by Wales to introduce a 5p plastic bag tax in October.

Six billion plastic bags are used across the UK annually and there is no doubt that they cause environmental problems such as litter and marine pollution as well as using up oil, and limiting their use and re-using them reduces their harm.

However the new report suggests that if shoppers to switch to alternatives, they have to use those time and time again to be greener.

Like, Duh! That's been the idea all along, Sherlock. Stop immediately tossing brand new stuff away after a single use.

Oh, well I work for the packaging industry so creating ever more packages must be good! Must be you bastards reusing your bags who are evil or stupid or something!

There will always be clowns.

But canvas bags might actually be worse for the environment than the plastic ones they are meant to replace.

And... nothing. You can read on until you're blue in the face. Nothing. Not a hint of scientific evidence or reasoning provided to prompt such a wacko assertion. Pure propaganda. No doubt brought to you - indirectly, underhandedly, corruptly - by Big Oil and the single use package manufacturing industry. You done been snookered, son. And no doubt, again, the irony was lost.

Didn't even bother to read the study did you. Typical progressive loon. The study is well documented and takes into account all the little details that you morons always ignore in your diatribes. You know, like water usage to grow the cotton, the pesticides that aren't used so the amount of crops that are lost because of that withe the commensurate loss of product, and the need to grow more etc. etc. etc.

In other words, a well thought out study that you ignore for political reasons because those facts blow your religious values out of the water. You anti science, religious nutjobs, are all the same.

Wow, probably your entire biography in a nutshell. Such projection! And, again, sadly, the irony is no doubt lost. Climate science denier cries whaa?? Derails topic with whaa?? Pulls a single "study" out of whaa?? Makes a mountain out of whaa?? Rationally asserts whaa?? Tesla going bankrupt whaa??

The results, published today in Scientific Reports, reveal that the GPGP, defined as the area with more than 10 kg of plastic per km2, measures 1.6 million square kilometers, three times the size of continental France. Accumulated in this area are 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic, weighing 80,000 metric tons, the equivalent of 500 Jumbo Jets. These figures are four to sixteen times higher than previous estimates.

^See, stupid greenies, that obviously beats everyone reusing their own cotton bag

That’s because eating plastic, which contains several harmful chemicals, can be toxic, so the birds and fish that eat it and the humans who in turn eat them can suffer health problems.

It is a particularly difficult problem to stop because the discarded plastic collects algae that smells to birds like seafood, according to a 2016 UC Davis study. Other studies have shown that as many as 90 percent of seabirds have plastic in their guts.
