PLASTIC APOCALYPSE - There are MILLIONS of slum workers around the world involved in an informal plastic waste industry that is “always hiring.” There is a third-world “gold rush” to process plastic waste — an economy with no end in sight. With the shale oil boom, companies like Shell, Dow and others are in the early years of gearing up “cracker plants” that “crack"  frack-gas-molecules into mostly single-use-plastic for food packaging. Plans are in the works for more and more cracker plants pushing peak plastic production all the way out to the year 2100. Despite growing concern and much discussion in the media this past year, corporations plan for more and more single-use-plastic in our lives.
In the first photo, the world's largest ethylene-cracker plant in Freeport, TX, that produces mostly thin-film-food-packaging. The second photo is a Bangladeshi woman teaches her son how to bail plastic sheeting that has been washed in the river below. #PlanetorPlastic
