Currently in Bali and there's a lot of plastic waste. And that's the only waste you see.

There are efforts to return to the old pre-plastic days as it's a relatively new invention and the Balinese aren't used to having to use bins and shipping plastic off to far away lands.

They expect it to all degrade back into the ground, perhaps rightly so.

Changing that entire culture for the worst because we introduced plastic to the world seems incredibly ignorant.

I've never heard anyone from the US or Europe claim that plastic will degrade back into the ground. Somehow they changed their "entire culture" to put trash in cans.
