The birth rate might be higher in 3rd world countries but I bet they dont buy as much plastic tat and consume as much factory produced stuff as we do. There are places in the world where people still get water from the river, eat watery lentils and stale bread. They are poor but satisfied and they don't need palm oil and other intensively farmed ingredients for all their processed ready made food. 1 trip to Asda yesterday ( I avoid it normally) and the issue was right there.
I think you'll find that the majority of the unrecycled single use plastic usage in the world in in the cities of the 'developing world' in Africa and east Asia, and unfortunately the people there are in the habit of just chucking it in the street or the nearest river.
It turns out that five countries are the leading contributors to this crisis. And all are in Asia.
In a recent report,
Ocean Conservancy (a US environmental nonprofit) claims that China, Indonesia, the Philippines,
Thailand and Vietnam are spewing out as much as 60 percent of the
plastic waste that enters the world’s seas.

But if it makes us feel better not using face creams toothpaste, flower pots then that’s good in itself. unfortunately, we’re bug*ered. doesn't really matter how the population is worked out, whether it’s from old young or whatever, it all boils down to just too many people doing too many things.

When I was born they only gave child allowance for the second and subsequent children. My mum, in her wisdom could foresee what would happen and insisted on one child, she never got a penny. A lot of people had a 2nd for the allowance.
