USAID is being dismantled. Contrary to what the moral busybodies declare, the aid infrastructure of the West has actively subverted other societies. Its only when it turned inwards with the same zeal that it is now being dismantled - brick by brick.

Trump has promised a new America. But the way he is approaching the world, he may up creating a new world order. His actions and words on Greenland need to be properly understood. Its a change in tactics but not a change in direction.
World’s PET plastic bottles production is about 500 bn a year. Just Coca Cola alone produces 3 mn tonnes of plastic packaging a year, which translates into 200,000 bottles a minute. Ellen MacArthur Foundation has been working with the many Consumer Goods companies to disclose their plastic packaging consumption under its New Plastics Economy Commitment. And companies like – Carrefour, Colgate Palmolive, MARS, Incorporated, Nestlé, SC Johnson, The Coca-Cola Company, and Unilever are now publicly sharing their annual plastic packaging volumes!
The latest New Plastics Economy Global Commitment Report for Spring 2019 is now out. You can download it from here – GC-Spring-Report.
The other companies also produce a lot of plastic packaging:
Nestlé 1.7m tonnes
Unilever 610,000 tonnes
Danone 750,000 tonnes
The plastic packaging volume that Coca Cola shared for its annual figures, when translated into bottles, equals 108 bn a year. Given that the global annual output is 500 bn bottles, one can see that Coca Cola alone produces a Fifth of the world’s plastic bottles.
Worldwide, humans produce 300M tons of plastic waste per year:
????️ 8.3B tons of plastic waste since the 1950s ???? 79% ends up in landfills or the natural environment ♻️ Only 9% of plastic waste is recycled pic.twitter.com/WDcN4gdO42
A total of 150 companies who have signed up for the New Plastics Economy Global Commitment of Ellen MacArthur Foundation, which is extremely commendable.
Make no mistake that this whole initiative will not reverse the damage that plastic bottles do to the environment, but just slow down what is a very gigantic mess.
