It might be wise to reserve our oil, for use in things we can't make out of anything but plastic.
Lol 😂🤣😂🤣 people actually think that they can recycle plastic 😂🤣
ExxonMobil will walk away without admit or deny anything…
Petrochemicals are POISON, anything made with petro oil can be made with hemp oil AND IS BIO-DEGRADABLE and improves soil. Gee and big oil KNOWS this. They made a Hemp car in the 40's.

Yep, you read that right! Back in the 1940’s Henry Ford released a car that was made and run off of the plant material, hemp.
Back then, metal was needed for military supplies, so there was little to be used for car production. This slowed the industry. Henry Ford and his team got creative. In a span of 12 years, they had invented the first automobile that was almost entirely made from plants!
What BS politicians lie judges lie but we are going after private companies for lies and not actually doing anything about the problem or holding those who are supposed to work for our best interests. Our government is full of much more garbage than the oceans.
This has been going on for decades, since I was a kid we have been told plastics are good because they are recyclable. It's been a big lie to dodge the cost of recycling. The food / drink businesses got rid of the cost of reusing glass bottles and put the cost on taxpayers.
fine,make the plastic recyclable and buy it back
Yes thank you starbucks for allowing reusable cups. You save money, we save the earth from pollution
😱 no way!! Big oil industries are deceiving us by polluting the world????
🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Exxonmobil is a plague on this earth.
P.s. plastic pollution causes reproductive harm
About time!! stop lying. Lock em up!!
Listen as a consumer and a single mom I want my children to have a future on a clean healthy Earth I don't mind at all if they ban plastic bags except trash bags that I would have a problem with but getting rid of plastic grocery bags I'm all for it I'll use reusable cloth bags not a problem at all I do know for the most part
What's there to investigate? None of the plastic is recycleable. We just send the trash to Malaysia, Romania, and you guessed it, Ukraine
Eres un ídolo mikujava.Monster siempre en mi corazón,hermosa,amorc,elecciones,culturales.❤️ Son unos de los mejores conciertos.
Good. Chase them down, and they better pay us and clean up too.
And that will be where it ends, an investigation. This is not knew people have known about this for years. Put all the blame and responsibility on consumers while polluting like crazy. The garbage, pollution, and chemicals they put out Americans can not even make a dent trying to be waste conscious. I can fill a recycle bin every week with just junk mail.
Make plastic bottles biodegradable like the plastis bags are now.
In further news water is wet.

Yes they did.
