"Trash Talk: How Plastic is Ruining the Planet (and Why We Could Fix It But Won’t)"

Ah, plastic. Humanity’s greatest invention—and also the most annoying thing clogging up our oceans, rivers, and digestive systems. It’s everywhere. In the soil. In the water. In our food. Probably in your morning coffee.

And here’s the kicker: we could stop this. We could switch to biodegradable hemp-based plastics and clean up our mess like responsible adults.

But do we?
Of course not.
Because that might interfere with the real agenda: making sure pollution stays profitable.

Plastic: The Gift That Keeps on Polluting

You know what’s fun about plastic? It never really goes away.

That bottle of "mountain fresh" spring water you drank five years ago?

• Still exists.
• Probably floating in the Pacific Garbage Patch, having a grand old time.
• Might even be inside a fish that ends up on your dinner plate.

Yep, you’re basically eating your own trash now. Congratulations.

And don’t even get me started on microplastics.

• Found in human blood? ✅
• Found in breast milk? ✅
• Found in rainwater? ✅
• Found in your overpriced organic quinoa salad? ✅✅✅

But hey, at least we have recycling, right?

Wrong.
Turns out, most of the plastic you "recycle" just gets dumped in a landfill or shipped off to another country—where it also gets dumped in a landfill.

Hemp Plastic: The Solution We Conveniently Ignore

Now, here’s where things get interesting.
We actually have a solution: Hemp-based biodegradable plastic.

✔ It breaks down naturally instead of lingering for 500 years like some immortal demon spawn.
✔ It’s stronger than regular plastic (so it won’t crack the moment you open your takeaway box).
✔ It doesn’t poison the soil and water like petroleum-based plastics do.
✔ It’s made from HEMP, a plant that grows fast, sucks CO2 out of the air, and doesn’t require toxic chemicals to produce.

Sounds great, right?

So why aren’t we using it?

Because Trash = Cash

Let’s face it: if the world suddenly stopped drowning in plastic pollution, a lot of rich people would lose money.

• Oil companies make a fortune selling petroleum-based plastics.
• Big corporations love cheap, disposable packaging (because why make a durable product when you can sell people the same thing 10 times?).
• Governments need pollution to justify carbon taxes and Agenda 21-style restrictions (because what’s the point of an eco-crisis if you can’t monetize it?).

If we switched to hemp plastics, we’d be looking at:

1. Less pollution.
2. Fewer toxic chemicals in our food and water.
3. A cleaner planet with more sustainable industry.

But also:
4. Less profit for the people running the show.

And we can’t have that now, can we?

Final Thoughts: Pay Up and Shut Up

So here we are, living in a world where we could stop plastic pollution tomorrow, but instead, we’re:

• Paying carbon taxes while the real polluters get government subsidies.
• Eating microplastics like they’re a new food group.
• Pretending recycling works while the oceans slowly turn into a dystopian soup of broken promises.

Meanwhile, hemp—a plant literally designed by nature to fix this mess—sits there like,
"Bro… I could solve this."

But no. Instead of using hemp plastic, we get greenwashed nonsense like paper straws that dissolve in your drink while your plastic cup stays perfectly intact.

Welcome to Planet Earth: Where the solutions exist, but the profits don’t.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to eat my daily recommended dose of microplastic-laced fish and chips. Cheers.
