What about "life"? Notice that in the phrase "life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" that life comes first. I believe that the government has a responsibility to prevent actions that endanger other peoples lives, as well as other people's liberty.

Who died from a plastic bottle?
"Different chemicals can leach from our plastic water bottles, knives and dermatologic products to enter our bodies. These compounds are linked to serious health issues such as endocrine disruption, weight gain, insulin resistance, decreased reproductive health, and cancer."

And those who eschew public health and safety end up poisoned, maimed, polluted and/or dead.

Microplastics are inside us all. What does that mean for our health?
Tiny plastic particles have been found throughout the human body, but researchers say they’re just starting to understand the impact.

Microplastics are in our bodies. Here's why we don't know the health risks
Researchers are racing to try to understand how much humans are exposed and what levels are toxic.

Marine life. And we eat marine life -- it sustains much of the world.

In February 2018, a young sperm whale was found dead at the coast of Spain near Murcia.
Scientists performed a necropsy and were shocked by what they found: The whale had swallowed 64 pounds of plastic!
The content of its stomach included plastic bags, nets, ropes, sacks and even a jerry can.
It looks like the whale was unable to digest or expel the plastic which caused an inflammation of the stomach and, ultimately, a gastric shock.

It literally starved to death with a full stomach.
Google can address your ignorance.

I'm glad your well informed by Google.In February 2018, a young sperm whale was found dead at the coast of Spain near Murcia.

As you can easily see from the picture, the whale was severely emanciated. While a grown male normally weighs 120,000 pounds, the one found in Spain weighed only 14,300 pounds.

Definitely a bottle from a hotel in New York that did the whale in I'm sure.

Your question was answered.
Notice you gave a glib response instead of actually addressing the content of the post that directly related to your question. Living creatures are being harmed and/or killed by our use of plastics. Ourselves included.
Oh, no! Bottle's from hotels in New York are forbidden by law from entering rivers, lakes and oceans!
And that makes as much sense as your response.

Well an answer should equal the question and that's what exactly I did.

You know what I find interesting here.....is I do not think the OP has any idea what the PRC was really like or what it is really like today..... it was likely much worse than the OP knows and is much more controlling than ANYTHING the OP will ever come across in NYS
and with that, I am out of this silliness

Yep , I encourage all Americans not to run to the ocean and throw their bottles , plastic bags, and other items in.

It's bizarre to me that you think that's how plastics end up in the ocean. Read one of the articles provided to you and learn something.
So wait a second here, you didn't ask that question with any kind of sincerity at all, did you?

If you do your research correctly you'll find most of the plastics come from Asia particularly from several rivers.
I'm sure you and I both know that the problem isn't the hotel owners.

Why don't you just move already? You seem to really hate it there

Like a lot of people I really wouldn't mind moving , but I still got roots here, family, and a job , plus I'm trained to adapt and not having the impulse to run away from my problems just because the going gets tough ,and while I'm here , I'm having a great time reporting the going on's here in the great People's Republic.

So human use of plastics allows for them to end up polluting our oceans and our bodies. Without realizing it, you're confirming that here.
But it's not us here in North America, it's foreign people somewhere else that are the problem. Our use of plastics somehow isn't causing any problems. Just "plastics coming from Asia." Our plastic somehow doesn't end up in the oceans unless somebody physically walks to the shore line and chucks it in.
And this makes sense to you somehow?
It's the mass production and use of plastics that are clogging up our environment and bodies that is the problem.

There's a difference between "running away from problems" and enduring an environment one hates to be around when instead you could have a better life elsewhere. Seems more conducive to living a happier life. I couldn't imagine sticking around in a place I hated being in then venting about how much I hated the place to strangers online... Doesn't seem healthy to me. Reminds me of how coworkers trauma bond over being forced to work in a work environment they hate being in by venting to each other about how terrible it is to work there
