        Lots of options! Process the plastic into polyester so that it can be used for clothing. Great Green Energy solution + it creates jobs + provides innovation. Easy fix - let's get going!

        Easy fix - find the capital money to finance the construction of North American facility. First find a proper site, apply for proper waste permits, determine logistical infrastructure to feed the facility and then find an end market that will still make it profitable.

        The US needs to recycle its own plastic. This is ridiculous that we ship it to China and not do it ourselves.

        Need to figure out something useful to do with all the plastic. Create houses with it or something. Plastic 2x4s.

        1st: Stop corporate plastic production such as single use plastic bottles-they have to go! 2nd: Recycle this into shoes, clothing, building materials. This has got to be an opportunity for someone. 3rd: Do not dump in the ocean. I repeat: do not dump in the ocean!

        Well that's the inadequacies of consumerism and capitalism today - evidently our massive production capabilities and growing economies are not sustainable. We're producing too many goods (China eg) and buying them (New Yorkers eg).
