There's always been *one* tariff I would adore more than even Knucklehead: an #importtariff on all #plasticpackaging by weight.
Cheap #oceantransport of cheap #petrochemicals whose production pollutes the country of origin, only to have its excessive use rewarded with a consumer price up-valuation, for profit-making at each step by #corporations never held unaccountable for final disposal, whether landfill, incinerator, river, or some world tour.

"Invasive water hyacinths are effective at removing microplastics, study finds"
Mongabay Environmental News · Invasive water hyacinths are effective at removing microplastics, study findsMicroplastics are pervasive in the environment and often so small they can’t be seen with the naked eye. Removing them has been a big challenge, but recent research finds that water hyacinths can be effective at remediating microplastic from aquatic environments. Native to South America, water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) has become invasive in waterways across […]
