Misleading or not, vast numbers of plastic drink bottles enter the ocean from non-Asian First World countries when they need not do so, and we could solve this almost immediately by having effective deposits on bottles, etc. (I don't even need official stats to verify that, all I have to do is to walk down to the harbor near were I live to witness the fact.)

You are no doubt correct about the source of the majority of the trash but we can't start pointing the finger until we've cleaned up our own mess.
