Plastic pollution is another free-market externality that is increasing rapidly

Cross-posted from my substack. I made this graph based on data by the OECD. Notice how pollution in rivers and lakes is vastly greater than that of oceans, meaning any prevention or cleanup project is likely to be much more effective if that side is tackled first.

To me the most worrying thing about this data is not merely that it's increasing... it's that there's a slight upward curve, meaning the pollution is also accelerating.
